Today I wanted to share a previous project with you, which is a small hinged box that has been distressed and filled with vintage themed tags.
The box has been covered with a selection of papers from on of the Tim Holtz paper stash, in this case Vintage Shabby. The papers were cut to size and attached using Matt Medium.The hinge side of the box were covered with tissue tape with the usual additional distressing with Distress Ink - Walnut Ink. I also added some gilding wax to the edges of the box for extra shine.
As you can see from the picture, the front cover was decorated with paper flowers from Prima that had been coloured with Distress Ink - Victorian Velvet. They were also sprayed with Perfect Pearl Mists -Heirloom gold. The centres of the flowers had either a small amber coloured stone added or sprinkles of gold micro beads.
A key was stamped on some co-ordinating paper and attached behind a Tim Holtz - Ornate Plate which was then filled with Ranger Crackle Glaze.

Enclosed with the box is a selection of tags, all decorated in a shabby vintage style. All the tags were coloured with a range of Distress Inks and then embossed using a selection of the texture fades embossing folders. The tags were then sprayed with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist - Creme de Rouge and Perfect Pearl Mists - Heirloom gold.
The tags are held together using a Swivel Clasp which has a Philosophy tag - Cherish, attached.
As you can see the tags have a selection of Prima flowers, vintage images and touches of lace and gold german scrap attached. The butterflies are from Maya road and have been coloured and then glitzed up with glitter.
Be creative!
