Day #9 of the31 DAYS OF HALLOWE'EN

Welcome to day #9 of the 31 days of Hallowe'en.
For months... nay.... a couple of years... i have had this wine box waiting to be altered.... finally i got around to it.... i sanded it..... painted it a neutral sort of 'Kraft' brown colour.... i used Tim Holtz papers to cover the outsides.... once dry i sanded the papers and further distressed with ink. I also distressed the painted wood the same way. I stamped around the image on the slide up/out door with the mesh stamp fron 'Quoth the raven' rubberstamp set from Smeared ink. Inside i have stood a bottle of 'Sloe gin' as there isn't a bottle of wine in the house..... the list of bloggers, as always is on my sidebar.... i'm sure you'll find no end of inspiration.


I shall enter this wine box into the following challenges,
