To start I assembled the matchbox that was part of a kit using glue and waited for it to dry. I then gave the outside of the matchbox a coat of white Gesso and also the front two sides of the drawer, then I used blue acrylic paint. When dry I papered the outside of the matchbox and the inside of the drawer with pretty blue and white snowflake paper
The image has been printed on photo paper and I brushed a light coat of multimedia matt over the image to protect it. For the frame, I coloured it in silver paint and then gave it a coat of silver glitter paste.
The paper poinsettias are hand made and painted white and the paper leaves were painted silver. To finish off the look of the top of the matchbox I dry brushed around the edges with white gesso and added little rhinestone flowers to the centre of the poinsettias and then I added small rhinestones onto the frame around the image.
To finish the whole look of the matchbox on both sides of the I used white pearl trim to give it a finished look.
The snowflake paper and the image are from the Gecko Galz that have been printed out onto white photo paper. They are from the

I love this project! The pretty pastel colours are gorgeous and you chose the sweetest vintage image to frame as the focal point. The flowers in cream co-ordinate perfectly with your winter ornamental matchbox. Thank you for sharing your project in the Gecko Galz challenges. xx
