Altered Matchbox




I have just finished this altered Matchbox for a Flikr group Art 'n' Soul swap. It is about 2x3 inches.


I painted the whole box with silver acrylic paint. Used a Paper Artsy word stamp to decorate inside and out. The picture is by Crafty Individuals, which I trimmed with lace. The two small parcels will be a suprise for my swap partner.


This project will also fit the theme of the current challenge at Lets Ink It Up - Recycle It.


Thankyou for stopping by to take a look
