File Folder Mini

AFTCM Swap for March - Altered File Folder Mini

Here is my make, hope my partner likes it!

Lots of tags for pictures or journaling. Used the Ladies Diary papers from Graphic 45.

It has a bit of a shabby Vintage feel to it so I am entering it into Simon Says Stamp and Show - Chic to be Shabby Challenge

Also entering Tim Holtz Tattered Floral challenge as I did make the flower on the front with his die (I know it's a weak attempt but there it is!)

Altered Book Swap

Here are some pictures of the Altered Book I created for a swap on AFTCM

I used G45 paper from "Ladies Diary" collection

 

Real feathers inserted for her hat!

 

 

I made the flowers with TH Tattered Floral Die from the paper I cut out of the book for the drawers, distress inked, sprayed with water, glimmer misted then painted with a bit of gesso to tone down the color!

 

 

2 drawers, with beads for handles.

 

 

2 Altoid tin drawers

 

 

This picture will not come up the right way!

 

 

This little drawer is a pocket/mini mint tin, mints included!

Inside the tins





 

The theme for the swap was "Romantic Era", and it had to include a drawer. I used altoids tins for the drawers and included a tealight candle and matchbox, with matches. After all what is more romantic than candlelight!

I hope my swap partner likes it, it is the first altered book I have made. I see more in my future!
