Tuesday Taggers -Out of my comfort zone


For this challenge, I have decided to use some Decoupatch papers that have been frequently pushed to the bottom of my pile of papers.

I sat tearing small pieces of paper, wondering if there was more to life than this. So the project decreased in size from a journal cover to a small 7x9x2cm. tin..

For the key and lock I used metal foil, then distress inks. The flowers explain themselves as one of my favourite embellishments.

Thankyou for stopping by to have a look.
