Steampunk Box

Today I would like to share with you a Steampunk Card Box that I made. First of all I would to say this was one of my favorite projects to make. I plan on using this box to organize and file my finished cards.

The Box came from Michael's and my husband was kind enough to cut the "lip" off for me. The box was painted with Gesso to cover up the original pattern. The top of the box is painted aluminum foil using a technique used by CapricornArtist73, you can watch his video on youtube if you are interested in learning the tecnique. I painted the whole box with acrylic paints- black, Venetion Gold, and Mint Green using a patina method. I then had lots of fun covering it with many little treasures, Tim Holtz Ideaology line, cuckoo clock parts, watch parts and Dusty Attic Chipboard. 













Thank you so much for stopping by to take a look at my craft,  I hope you enjoyed it.
