This is what I started with
And this is how it finished
Corner view
The top
The texture
I started with the soap poder box and covered it with gesso a couple of times to hide the pattern
I then tore bits of masking tape and added them before colouring with Distress Stains
I put some Ranger Texture Paste through a stencil and when dry added Distress Sprays
I stamped the quotes on to tissue with Adirondack and added them with Mod Podge
I added some Autumn Leaf rub ons here and there
I made the flower with paper and a die using my Vagabond - I sprayed distress stains on to it and when dry added a bit of rub n buff
The Leaves were cut from Grunge Board inked and shaped and added with silicone gel
I finished off by adding some rub n buff to the corners and attaching the little handle with brads
