Altered box

I went to a workshop with Ali-Crafts yesterday and we did an altered box, there was so many things to play with that you could get carried away putting things on. I have never done one of these before but I will be doing some more as they are great fun to do and would make fab gifts.
The boxes were base painted then stamped with a wood effect stamp, we just went for it with all the embellishments and then painted over with a metallic paint and finished off with Treasure Gold wax.
This box has a drawer and we lined the draw with patterened paper which matches the paper I put onto the tag.

    Oh wow. This is gorgeous Jenny. Boxes like this would definitely make great gifts. Can I feel a 'workshop at Jenny's' coming along.

    Fabulous box Jenny. I do a lot of altered art but not got any metallic paint or gold wax. I'll have to look out for it as it's stunning. What fun you had.....wish I'd been there Hugs Wynn x
