"Altered Tissue Box"
with Amy Voorthuis

 Good morning lovely 2Crafty friends.
How wonderful of you all to stop by the 2Crafty Chipboard blog. For today I want to show you  a altered tissue box made with a bunch of my favorite 2Crafty Chippies. This box is based on my daily job as a optician. Vanessa made me some amazing tabs with all words used in optics and I used three of them on my box. I made this for at my job to show in the lunch area. For this I used a golden oldy collection from 2012.....enjoy my post!



Olde Curiosity Shoppe Tissue Box:

Wonderful 2Crafty Chipboard used: 
Giant Gears 
Foliage Set 12
Cassie Flourish
Frame Flourish 5
Frame Madeline Flourish
Francesca's Journal Frames





I altered most of my chippies with some white gesso then for the frames I used my aqua & alcohol markers in different colours. Normally I love to add a bunch of phrases & words but for this one I used none which was a huge test for me lol...



For the giant gears I altered those with some brown rust paste after I primed them with two layers of white gesso. After that I added two of them on top of each other with some glue and a huge brad to add some demension. The tabs Vanessa made for my I left them in their raw state which look the best on my box.  


Hope you all enjoyed my post thank you so much for stopping by, I will be back with another project soon hope to see you back then....
