Altering anything is something I thought I'd never do but what fun this was. A friend was my guest for a mini craft vacation and encouraged me to try this. She got her ideas from photos from Artful Maven and Technique Junkie of altered boxes. John (DH) built us wood boxes. I used ranger foil sheets and metal hardware store tape on the top per the video in TLC438 after cutting the letters on my Klic N Kut. the sides were embossed with a Tim Holtz embossing folder. Black paint was then applied and wiped off. John then added the hardware for us. Inka Gold in Copper was rubbed on in spots although the photo does not show it. Lots and lots of hot fix pieces were adhered to look like rivets. They were glued on one by one with Art Institute glue. The Ranger foil was extremely fragile and a lot of patching was necessary since even the embossing folder tore it. A better photo of the top and inside will be posted separately. Sorry about the inadequate photo. I had a lot of trouble getting one.
Thank you for looking.

Had to come take a peek again, after Jody posted her box. This is just as gorgeous as I remember! Looks like it took a lot of time and patience. Time, I have....patience, that's another story! LOL
