Whats in the box this time.




 Can you guess we love cheese in our house. This is another box that has been given a make over.
The new Try it on Tuesdays Challenge is to Recycle It'.
Please pop over to see what we have all been making.


There will be a lot of photos,  so I will keep the explanation as brief as I can.
The box was coated then painted with acrylics, the smeared with gold metalic rub on paste.
The lid I covered with  card, which had been  embossed using a  time  folder, this had the rub over with gold treatment as well



The inside of the box holds a Concertina book.
I used a Spellbinders die cut for the shapes, some of which were cut from the cover of  a Graphics 45 paper stack. This saved the papers  to be used on another day.

 On the left you can see the pages of the book.
The stamps I used for some of the images were from Stampers Anonymous and Chocolate Baroque
All the extra shading was Vintage Photo distress ink.
The trimmings were all scraps from my bits box.






Thank you for stopping by to take a look, your comments are always appreciated.
