........And the Matching Box!

I thought before the trail goes cold I should quickly upload the matching box. The stampbord pieces were just offshoots of the mirror project. The wooden box was painted with Bronze Precious Metal Colour, then I went over the lid with Tarnished Brass Distress Crackle Paint (from the Artistic Stamper) then more of the Bronze to blend the colours together, then a little black ink rubbed into the crackle and wood grain for emphasis.

I am not sure whether it needs a little more? Maybe a 'handle' on the front, or something round the edge of the stampbord tiles? My husband says when I get to this point, stop, as I am a bit of a 'More is More' person!

    Lucy, I would say not to add any more, even though I am in the More, More group of crafters, alongside you! Lynne

    Your box turned out fabulous Lucy! The texture looks great, and I agree with Lynne, I love it just the way it is, in the words of Colin Firth in Bridgit Jones! xx
