stampin for the weekend


The challenge at 'stampin for the weekend' this week is 'ALTER SOMETHING'.
I had this lovely little wooden box just sitting waiting for me to do something with it... and a friend staying who has nowhere to put the 'junk' out of his pockets at night so i made this.
I painted the box with ivory acrylic paint, then stamped directly on it it. I coloured the images with chalk and metallic pencils, i inked the edges and covered the sides of the lid with very thin cork as i figure this is the bit that will wear most.
The image on top and on the sides have been sprayed with matt vanish.
All the stamps used are from TANDA STAMPS.
thanks for taking time to look.
