A very large match box



Hi Just a quick post this morning before I head off to the Sincerely Yours show at Lincoln.   This is yesterday's project, the box has been on the alterables mountain for quite a while (as these things so often are).   Yesterday an idea took shape.

Box coated all over with white gesso.   Dreamweaver stencils and a dimension paste.    Once the paste was dry first colours of DI ink applied with ink dusters.   Then some Artquest shimmer paint and Sakura gel pens.   Still not satisfied this morning I've added touches of Treasure Gold to the raised areas.

But it's a box and I can see things sticking to the sides you say.  well yes some die cut flowers and a couple of stamped and embossed images.   More Sakura pens used here to finish them off.
