Grandma's Sewing room - Shadow box

So there was a challenge that i started in a group on face book called scrappy diva's.  The challenge was to do something that was outside you box and something that you always wanted to try but just were timid to ruin it or not really know what to do with.  I knew i wanted to do a sewing them, but that was as far as it went.  We had partners and my partner gave me a few challenges to add to my project.  I had to use a stencil, do some layering and use the color aqua or violet in my project. So i painted the box butter cream and then i painted on a homemade walnut stain that i made to distress it.  Once i did the brick wall stencil and saw the distress ink come through i thought it would be cool to make it vintage style like a very old fashioned room.  I ripped pieces of paper and distressed them with walnut ink and curled some of the paper, i wanted it to look as if it was wall paper that was very old and kinda peeling off the walls.  I had alot of fun making this out to look like a sewing room.  It was really fun using a bunch of little things to make it look like a room.  Thank you for stopping by and i hope you like it.
