I went for an oriental theme and finished it yesterday.
The matchbox is a tiny one and came flat in a pack. It is coloured with Lumiere Crimson paint with gold leaf added randomly all over to give it an aged look, then stamped with Japanese text. The mizhouki (?) knot is one I made a while ago and the stamped face added to the frame is covered with Glossy Accents - only just seen she has a bubble on her chin. The shrink plastic 'Geisha' completes the front.
Another geisha stamp on the inside with washi paper robe and background. The paper was wrapped round a bottle of wine - a gift from a Japanese family member (Mr B's cousin lives in Japan and his wife visited last month and brought lots of beautiful papers and silks). The image is raised on foam pads and a bit of German scrap added at the front.
Here's a view of the back of the box - hope the text isn't upside down.

Crikey Ann, I don't know how you can do such an amazing job in such a small area! This is really impressive, love all the details. Regards, Anne x
OO well done Ann and thanks again for joining in..
i LOVE that oriental lacquered look and the distressed feel of the gold you have going on (can be seen really well on the back there)
and dont you hate how the photos show up the bubbles in the bloomin accents (I am sneaky and photoshop them out if i spot them lol.. cus they nearly always look fine in real life. the flash just highlights them.
and german scrap!!! lol what a coincidence.. you know i love that stuff.. and i agree with the lady above.. fantastic detail fitted in to such a wee space. your swap partner should be very pleased :)
This is fabulous, Ann. Love the distressed gold leaf and oriental images. So much detail in such a small space.
