Petite Decoupaged Trunk

Bonjour Mes Amis!
Today I thought I'd share with you this petite trunk which I decoupaged with spring time blooms.
When we were in Savannah, I found the wooden trunk at Hobby Lobby, and instantly fell in love with it.  The color was perfect, a nice antiquey aqua.  And I thought the aged brass and leather trim was super cool, too!

When I first purchased it, I really didn't know what I would do with it.  Initially I thought of maybe just adding a tag, but you know me, I love to embellish!  And since I was wanting to work on a crafty project while we were on our motor home trip, I thought this would be the perfect blank canvas.
Then one thing lead to another, and I decided to decoupage it!
I happened to have pretty scrapbook paper that I brought along, so I cut out the lovely floral and butterfly motifs.

Then the fun began!
I didn't want to totally cover the trunk, as I wanted the wonderful antiqued aqua to still be visible.
So I really tried to use a bit of restraint:)

Just looking at these pretty blossoms gives me spring fever!

You can't see it in the photos, but I added a bit of glitter to the butterflies, to give their wings a gossamer appearance.
I didn't want to use regular glitter that would shed all over the place, so I just mixed a small amount of clear iridescent glitter glue (I love "Stickles" brand!) to the Mod Podge.

As a fun little surprise, I even added the decorative paper and a butterfly to the inside!

Here is a shot of the back.

You know how much I love tags, so I just had to add one to the trunk.
I used the same scrapbook paper to fashion my tag, stamped it with a pretty crown, added a tiny rhinestone for a bit of bling ('cause you know how much I love bling!!)
and then stamped the word "bonjour", to give it a bit of a French accentt!
Here is one last look.

Thanks so much for visiting today!  I hope this inspires you to create a little bit of spring in your house!!
