I had a couple of MDF match boxes that I bought from Fernli Designs and they are really nice...so I decided to alter one for the challenge.....
I coloured some art card in distress inks, cut them, then glued them to my matchbox.
I also covered the front of the drawer and added beads for the handle.
Using the set called "Take the Plunge" I stamped the images.....stamping an extra image of the lady on some spare card, which I coloured and overlaid on the image on the box.
At this stage I used a spray and shine sealer over the whole matchbox and it really added a sparkle and enhanced the colours.
I added the trims to the top and then lined the base of the drawer, adding a seed packet tied with raffia.
To finished I used glossy accents on the lady's hair and clothes...unfortunately the light really wasn't in my favour and the accents are not showing that well....
So if you fancy a "Colour Challenge" why not pop over to this lovely blog....
