I decided that today was going to be a day for myself, no housework, no shopping, just crafting. I've got a few boxes that I've kept for altering and I decided to alter one today. Halloween always seems to inspire me, especially the creepy things like skeletons and gravestones.
The box was a gift box full of toiletries, I painted it over with black acrylic paint, coloured a piece of card with TH Distress inks and hand drew the tree on it. All the stamps are from Stampotique and the gravestone I made out of Fimo. I rubbed on some silver from the Metalic Rub-ons set so the black acrylic looks like stone. Hope it's not too scary....lol!
I've put a before, making up and after pictures in to show you how I did it.
Covered with black acrylic paint.
Background and stamped images added.
Aclose up of the inside and last but not least, on the back of the box is your very own invitation to the party!!! Hope you can make it.
