Can we see a photo of your 3 sided box after the applied paper putty has hardened?

Here is a photo of it dried (yes, I did apply it quit liberally. I was trying to make the corner a little contoured). There really was very little shrinkage. Most of it was do to the paper fibers mixed with the glue.

Dear Rhaven:
Nice Pictures!!!!!!!!!
Thanks

I am glad you like the technique.
I know that there are other products out there like the one that you mentioned, but this technique is for those who may not have access to those kind of products, or who have extra scrap card and want to use it up.
I am looking forward to seeing your work.
