Been working on this on and off all week, it's for the Cupcake Craft Challenge this week which is 'Alter It' and I've had 2 dark chocolate mikado boxes on my window sill for a couple of months now (the boxes lasted longer than the biccies, nummy :D ) so decided to see if I could create a little underwater fantasy world.
I started life out as a biscuit box!
After I cut a hole out the front, I coloured the inside with a yummy acrylic aqua paint, then went over it again dry painting it with a metallic green and metallic blue.
Stamped in some bubbles (which I'm not sure you can really see) and a fantasy castle). Added the lovely Nerissa (coloured in with Promarkers) and a little phishy friend!)
The lovely Nerissa from Kimmie Krafts (by Annie Rodrigue).
Got a little bit stuck once I'd done the mermaid and the inside, wasn't sure what to do with the outside!
Ended up painting it in a grey acrylic paint, then painted over that with my favourite metallic titanium gold acrylic paint. Decorated a tim holtz key hole and added some flowers, gems and pearls.
Look at me now!!!
Piccie with the flash on so you can see the sparkle!

That's really good Kate. What a brill idea, although you could have sent me a Mikado first!!! Thanks for taking part at I ♥ Promarkers this week.
Hi Kate. Very creative. Never eaten a Mikado but given that you must have eaten a box of them, they must be good! LOL. Thanks for joining us at I ♥ Promarkers.
