Altered Matchbook Box and Album

By

I thought I'd share a project with you all that I made with a number of samples for the G45 shows on Create and Craft TV. 

 The matchbook box was painted with black acrylic and then lacquered with Royal Coat, Decoupage Finish medium to give it the traditional oriental shine, and the album was made to fit neatly inside.  I wanted to showcase the images from the papers so I made the album black, cut out the images and mounted them straight onto the pages.  I added a little art glitter here and there for a bit of sparkle along with a few tags for journalling and some photo mats for pictures :-) As it was a demo piece there are only four pages in the album but you could add more if you wanted too.

    Oh, goodness. This is lovely. The black is the perfect backdrop for all those beautiful papers. I appreciate that you didn't overwhelm the beautiful images with too many embellishments. Elegant!
