A matchbox

The Stampotique Designers Challenge is asking for boxes. I decided to go for a very small simple box: matches. Real ones, that is. Just because decorating a matchbox is quick and fun... and it's lovely to use matches from a cute box instead of the ordinary dull package.

I started by colouring around the edges of the matchbox with a black marker. This way I got a frame around the image. I chose some underpaper in earth tone colours, stamped on the smallest little kitty-monster from the lineup-stamp and coloured it with acrylic paint and a thin brush. Added a coat of glossy accents over the figure, and the result is quite adorable. The backside of the box has a piece of the same underpaper. Got to do some more, these are fun to give away around Christmas!
