Lost Art Cards and Designs

This pretty box lid is my entry for this wonderful contest about adding dimension to projects.  Please follow this link to learn more about this and other challenges by Mixed Media.


Wanting to present a gift to a friend in a beautiful way, I made this Lacy Letter Box Lid by covering it in lace linen found on a clearance rack at Michaels Arts and Craft Store.  Walking through the aisles, I selected a few more embellishments from the papercraft and ribbon aisles as well as Krylon Low-Odor Spray Glue.

The lid was first covered with DCWV Project Paper Roll: Post Cards, found at Joanne's, with Aleene's Tack It Over and Over Glue and left to dry. Then the lace linen ribbon was adhered to the top of the  lid in 3 horizontal rows by brushing on the Aleene's glue. While the glue was drying I threaded the lace trim with natural rope ribbon and then adhered it over the seams of the linen ribbon. To give it some extra ummph and reinforcement,  Corner Elements from Tim Holtz Idea-ology in a coordinating color were added.
