Farmhouse Style Explosion Box for ReneaBouquets

Hi everyone, Toni here with a fun new project for ReneaBouquets. These are the brand new Explosion Box/Ornaments that are now available in the store.  

My Christmas theme this year is Farmhouse Rustic and so I wanted to dress this little box up like a woodsy diorama to sit on my table. 

The horse was painted first with silver paint pounced on for texture and then embossed with silver EP for a fun metal effect. 

I wanted the corrugated metal look on the sides so I achieved this using Metallics Kraft Paper, give it a light sand and distressing it with Black Soot Reinker. 

The ReneaBouquet Explosion Box and decorative snowflakes were all painted with a simple coat of white gesso and then  Gathered Twigs DI was used on the edges . 

The top of the box was decorated with Sizzix Poinsettia and Festive Greens diecuts.  And to finish to off a light coat of DIY snow was applied everywhere along with Rock Candy glitter. 

Hope you enjoyed. For your pleasure I have included a process video below for your viewing. 

Explosion Box/Ornament for ReneaBouquets

Hi everyone, today I'm up on the blog to share with you a project using the new Explosion Box/Ornaments that can be purchased at ReneaBouquets. These boxes are perfectly adorable without doing anything to them, but they are so much fun to decorate as well. The poinsettias above were highlighted with homemade snow... baking soda, white paint and white glue mixed together. 

I left the box in it's natural state and embellished it using Blue Fern's Vintage Christmas paper. Also adding some dark red microbeads to the carousel horse. 

With the addition of some deep red rhinestones to some of the beautiful board (from ReneaBouquets) decorative pieces. 

Here is a better photograph of the darling carousel horse and I added some Stickled embellished poinsettias from ReneaBouquets also to add that Christmas look. 

To finish it off I also added a T!m Holtz Lantern which will look so pretty on my Christmas tree. 

For your enjoyment I have included a video below so you can watch my creative process. Listed on the video is also all the products and their websites for ReneaBouquets goodies. xoxo Toni
