Altered wall box - for my tags.







I found this box in a charity shop recently, it seemed just right to diplay and store all the tags I have made recently.



The first stage was to remove the apple [I have future plans for that] then I used a blue acrylic paint and cosmic shimmer mist to cover everywhere, alot of me as well.



After adding a couple of swirls, some flowers I thought it still needed something. The embellishments were moved about a bit and some charms added, then I created a removable template for inside the back of the box. The current one's theme is birds, using some favourite stamps. This will let me change the look in future.





Thankyou for stopping by to have a look.
