Altered Soap Powder Box



 
I started with an empty Soap Powder box and added some scraps of different papers - book pages, music, etc etc
 
I added my first coat of colour using Tim Holtz Distress Spray - I then added some texture paste through a stencil and some white Gesso here and there.
 
When dry I Antique Bronze Distress Stain
 
I then got out my "Junk/treasures" box
 

 
I chose some pieces and Die Cut some more pieces out of saved painted/stamped leftovers
 
I added some of the pieces along with some Ideology pieces. I inked some ribbon to make the bow and added some seed beads for the butterfly body
 
I made a closure using two hitch fasteners and some thin elastic
 
I added some circles using a spare top and Black Gesso
 
Here are some closer views
 



I really like the way it turned out and plan on keeping ribbons in it
 
This is my entry for the following great challenges
