Thanks for your compliments y-all!
Chickee: The velvet-like paper I found in NH at an "art" store. They sold tons of papers, stamps, scrapbooking supplies, etc. I fell in love with the paper and only had 5 sheets left. Went looking in Michael's to no avail and Hobby Lobby only had HUGE sheets of a lavender color on clearance. I'm guessing they used it their framing departments. BUT the manager said they don't carry it anymore. DRAT!

How beautiful! I love how you put all the pieces, paint, paper, etc. together to make such a wonderful box. I could never cut those diamonds as precisely. Great work.

Absolutely stunning! THere's no doubt...she will cherish it throughout her life just as she cherishes your friendship!

This is another "hold the phone" project. I had to re-read your comment re the paper liner. At first I thought you'd mosaiced the inside when I saw the diamond shapes. This is simply magnificient. BTW - what kind of gold paint did you use. I'm working on a project that w/call for gold paint. I have several kinds, but am thinking of the gold leaf paint that's oil based. As much as I hate using oil-based paints, it DOES give a nicer effect. Yours looks richer than the acrylic gold. BEAUTIFUL box, and so unique.

SLOW: The paint is a DecoArt metallic Venetian Gold.

Another beautiful job Rosie.What a lucky friend,she'll love it.I love the glitter glass too!!And the black and white really pops!

OMG...that is incredible!!!! Just gorgeous!!!
