Altered trunk

 

I started with a wooden chest that I bought a while ago.

 

I like the way it turned out although I wasn't sure when I started which way it

would go

 

I covered the box twice with crumpled tissue using Mod Podge after taking off the handles and clasp

 

 

 

This is a close up of the texture it created

 

 

I let it dry overnight and then added colour with Distress Sprays Tea Dye and Rusty Hinge

 

I used the Old Jalopy Die, grungeboard and my Vagabond for the main image. I inked with Distress inks Black Soot and Forest Moss, the small parts were coloured with Rusty Hinge Distress Pen I cut some photo's from my stash and added them behind the windows. I finished off the car with Brads for the wheel trims I added the car to the top with silicone

 

I put Texture Paste through Stencil on spare card stock and when dry coloured with the same colour sprays. This was then added to the corners

I added some pieces from Tim's Ephemera pack and some remnant Rubs

I die cut the Adventure Thinlets and then mounted them on to contrasting paper before adding them

I put the fastener and handles back on and added a  Type Charm with a piece of old tape measure

 

 

I am entering this piece in the following Challenges
