Valentines series project #1

found these 1 dollar metal mailboxes at target so I thought it would be fun to alter.  I went shabby chic on it and I love it!  I painted the mailbox with gesso, then dried it.  Second coat was a tan acrylic paint and third coat was an off white acrylic paint color.  After it was dry I rubbed some vintage photo distress ink on it.  Then I used modeling paste to give it some texture.  I dried it with my heating tool then used distress stain on it to give it more rustic color.  I sprayed some lindys stamp gang sprays on it and let the colors run and melt down the box.
