The only things on my desk at the moment are the two match boxes i've just finished altering.
I'm really leased with the way they have turned out.



Here is how i've made them
I started of by painting the match boxes with  black Metallic acrylic paint, which i also used to paint the wooden beads that i used as feet for the boxes.
The paper & images were from the Graphic 45  Steampunk Debutante Collection.
I've used the glossy accent on the butterflies .
The flower on the smaller box was coloured using the Bronze Tattered Angels glimmer mist.
The larger box i placed two of the Tim Holtz gears on the hair of the lady image.
One last thing i used was a little bit of Green bling here & there on the butterflies & cogs.
