May 1st 2011.

Wow, enjoyed watching the Royal wedding this last week & then
 had some fun  in the week with a Tim Holtz configuration box...
I painted the little boxes first of all, covered the outside with paper, attached the tissue tape & soon filled them up !
I really love the little boxes they are so sturdy & there's so many things you can do with them... !

Altered box - using crumpled up tin foil

Image
Small box , covered in crumpled up tin foil painted to look (almost) metallic ... Materials used :- Small cardboard box with lid Tin foil crumpled up - enough to cover the box & lid Starbucks Coffee holder - a ripped off  bit enough to go accross the lid of the box. Black Acrylic paint Inka Gold Paint Glue Flower Metal flower - used tattered floral Tim Holtz die Gem stones To make :- Paint crumpled tin foil with black acrylic paint. Sponge some off before it dries so some tin foil shows through. Allow to dry. Adhere peice of coffee holder paper on lid, and then cover the lid with more crumpled tin foil. Press foil down over lid and press down carefully so that the ridges are more emphasised from the  paper underneath. Add inka gold paint haphazardly over the box, Embellish as required.
