This is my 3rd altered match box that I have done. I made it for Katies (aka Mzz P.) Birthday, I had to wrap it so her nosy mother couldn't sneak an advance viewing either. I wanted to do something that would suit someone young but not a child and she is a very good crafter herself. I also wanted something a wee bit vivid - hence the colours. I had great fun doing this I must admit. I inked up papers to cover the actual box and collaged and stamped various images for outside and inside. Then i just done the same with the tag..inked, stamped and collaged on both sides. The tag is an accordian style that folds up to fit back in the box (of course). I must say that i think the scans dont do it justice (its not often i would say something like that) but it does look much better in real life.

Oh, Ilove this great images, especially that clown one, even though he might not be a clown.
You've added lots of lovely stuff to this since I last looked.

Zuzu gingers already seen it but not in the flesh and Katies not looking at peoples blogs etc just now so she said it'd be safe to put up

This is lovely and when Katie tires of it (as if) I will be acquiring it - I think Hell will freeze over first LOL. So fingers crossed for global warming :-)
