Hello My Dear Friends

Papericious recently launched Decoupage papers ,Glue and chalk paints.The decoupage papers have Gorgeous motifs of butterflies and flowers, you can check out the entire collection here.

I Decoupaged a mobile cover and MDF box

Have a look!!!!

For this box here i used my favorite Decoupage paper - Peacock Medley.

Here is how i altered this box

Apply a base coat of white chalk paint on entire box. For a smooth surface sand the first layer of paint with sanding block and than apply second coat.

Using the Decoupage Glue apply the Decoupage paper - Peacock Medley on the top of the box , smoothing out the bubbles and leave it to dry.

For a washed paint effect inside the box , Mix Chalk paint -French Blue with glazing medium in a ration of 80 to 20 percent.

Apply a layer of this paint mix on the base white paint with flat brush and wipe of with wet cloth for a washed effect.

On the outer side of the box apply the paint mix (Chalk paint + glazing medium) with flat brush and using the texture tool create horizontal and vertical line.
