matchbox

Something a bit out of my comfort zone today! Having bought some matchbox kits from Tando Creative, I decided to use one with the gorgeous new stamps designed by Fiona Randall for Chocolate Baroque. The set I used was reach for the sun, which isn't on their  website yet, but is on the Create & Craft site

The matchbox went together easily and  i painted it black.then stencilled stars and part of a ray image randomly before brushing gold paint round the edges.

I stamped the sun onto black card using versamark ink and embossed it in copper, then fussy cut it out. and painted the ionner ring with sparkly silver watercolour. stamped and embossed again onto white card and cut out the sunface. Glued into place, added the sentiment cut into halves

Did the same for the back of the box,

but using the moon image this time

without the silver paint.

The other stamps from the set were stamped directly onto the painted tiles and embossed in copper

Things to remember for next time 

1 buy the larger size box!

2 use brighter colours
