Just a little green box

After adding the white stripes, I started with the pink parts of the rose buds, applying a darker shade at the base. This was followed by the leaves, some shading, then the stems and curly stems. Ta Daaaa!
The first task was to clean up the box and add several coats of green paint. There were a lot of flaws to hide.

This is the little old wooden box I found at a thrift shop. It looked pretty sad.
