Hi,
Today I am combining two challenges:
GC69 - Ancient Ages and
Matchbox Gothic Arch
Well, this certainly been a lot of fun to make, plus a bit of bad language........as never made a matchbox one before so didn't have a clue on where to start.......anyway after a struggle I completed it.......yahhhhhhhh........the frame was cut from a Tim Holtz embossing folder and stazon swiped, black paint dabber, silver enamel paint and gold metallic cream. For the box I lined the inners with some left over folder after I had painted the centre part with texture paint, silver enamel and gold metallic creamed it. Attached some beads on a wire so the box can be pulled out of its frame. Then a mold I had already made from clay was popped in the centre.
When I get the time shall definitely make some more now have got the hang of it.....
Thank you for popping by and for your wonderful support which spurs me on and hopefully to improve. Take care, Annette x
