Midway Reminder at Simply Magnolia "Vintage or Shabby Chic"-"A Tilda Treasure Chest"!!

Happy Sunday dear blogging friends!!!  Hope that you have had a FABULOUS weekend so far!!

Today it's Team Glamour at Simply Magnolia's turn to post and we'd like to remind you of our FANTASTIC challenge..."Vintage or Shabby Chic"!!  We are sponsored by the ever so wonderful Sandy at Live and Love Crafts!!!

So in my on-going quest to clean up and organize my craft room I decided that I would make something for storage...this way I get to create while having a useable finished product!!

Here is what I came up with...
please click on the first image for a closer view/slideshow...
I started with a plain wooden chest from Michael's...
painted it with Ranger's Tea Dye Distress Ink...
covered the insert areas with decoupage and added tissue paper in a smooshed fashion...
for the final finish I buffed on Viva Inka-Gold-Old Gold...
the before... 
 I used my distress inks to colour this sweet little Tilda...
she is called "Tilda with Straw Hat" but I can't remember which collection...maybe "Butterfly Wishes??"...
added just a touch or gold Frantage...
I soaked the shabby ribbon with diluted Tea Dye Distress Ink...
attached the image at the bottom to the corner of the box leaving the upper part free so that the box will still open...
added some feathers, ribbon, flowers and flower/pearl clusters...
another angle for a view of the top decorated...

using the same decorations but added Shabby Seam Binding with the chiffon ribbon, pearl stick pin, beads and two charms...
closer view of the charms...
stick pin and beads...
and all these lovely feathers...

Well that is another storage piece...hopefully it will help in the arranging of my disaster of a craft room...lol!!!  Now hop on over to Simply Magnolia and check out my super talented team mates creations...then show us your "Vintage or Shabby Chic" projects...we can't wait to see them!!!!
