Altered Cigar Box

If you remember a while ago whilst visiting belgium I acquired quite a lot of cigar boxes. Well today one of my friends came to play and we each altered a box. This is what I did with mine - I used metal, embossing folders, ten second studio tools, black gesso and silver dabbers.









This is a close up of the corner to show the embossing












This is the plate on the middle of the front of the box














The corner showing where I added the silver dabbers

The completed box













We had such a lot of fun - got very messy but had a brilliant afternoon. I'm putting this piece in the Artistic Stamper Challenge which this month has the theme Something Old - Something New - well I've made something new out of something old so hope it counts
