Hello blog land. The sun is out here hope it's nice for you where ever you are. This is my very 1st Match Box I bought four. I have been waiting forever for mine but I don't use them that much (the odd candle) I'll tell you more about my MB in a wee while first let's use it for some challenges he he. Alter it Monthly (AIM) is a new challenge blog and this is the first one. The title says it all. Every month there will be something to alter, this month it's a 'Match box' Allsorts is no DPs, none on this any where! I am also using this for the Play Date Cafe (PDC) as always a lovely colour challenge. All DTs are wonderful please pop over for full details of requirements.
To make this MB I got three alcohol inks two blues and a pearl I used the blues first and some blending solution then when dry applied the pearl, gives it a lovely shimmer. I have covered the top of the matchbox with acitate and stamped with stazon. inside the MB is some material and a daffodil.
I think the DT for matchbox alteration have done a far better job than myself but I just wanted to have a little play and see what I could dome up with in a morning. I hope you like this altered art and I hope you have a go your self, please leave a comment, I would love to see what you have been up to I have many very talented followers. I also follow many talented people why not pop a long a blog you haven't been to before, it's something I like to do when I go to a blog if they have a list I love to try a new blog or too you will be amazed what you can find. Have a great day. Love Dawn xx
Items Used:- Match box from fruit pixie Alcohol inks Ranger. Daffodil, Stash. Material, Ikea. Butterfly, stash.

SO well done you as your first is bursting with spring freshness.. and its a beautiful attempt... they are so small and fiddly . I often cheat and use a giant matchbox lol... nice daff by the way ;)
