A Shabby, Twiddley Shadowbox

I've altered another Twiddleybitz shadow box!!
I could not resist doing a bit of shabby chic for this one and was at the perfect place to get some help - from Tracy Kielty over at my2angels, I'm so glad I live close!

Once the shadowbox was assembled, I started with Ferro Iron to cover the outsides (that's the brown); then rubbed over the surface with Inka Gold - I LOVE how this brings out all the texture!

Then I used Viva Stone Art on the frame and attached it at certain points only, with hot glue - it's curved as it was slightly bigger than the frame...
Added some gorgeous hand-made items, charms, and flowers (after spraying with gold perfect pearls mists) from my2angels

I then glued some tea-stained muslin inside the box.  All done and ready for a keepsake :-)
