My project to launch this month's challenge is an altered 'bits and bobs' box.
The box started out as the container for a mini Camembert. This was given a coat of chalk followed by midnight PaperArtsy Fresco Finish paint.
Next I embossed foil tape sheets using a Seth Apter embossing folder. I then rubbed black paint over it to give it some 'tooth'.
Next, I added Rusty Car PaperArtsy Infusions onto the metal, spritzed with water and dried with a heat gun.
I love the effect that this created - like rusty metal!!
I then die cut circles and edges which I adhered to the box by peeling the tape from the back of the metal.
To finish I stamped the wording onto music paper and adhered it to a book plate. I then had great fun playing and arranging metal cogs, buttons and a crown to finish!
I had great fun creating this little box.

Love this Miriam. From small beginnings to a fabulous creation. Never thought of running the sheets through the embossing machine. The Infusions worked so well didn't they. Xx

It looks like you had fun adding all the cogs and metal embellishments and that beautiful crown makes for a great handle too! Wishing you a great start to the week and Happy September! J 😊
