Metal fronted key cupboard


Where has the last month gone, it seems like the year is going too fast.
As we have a little time at home for a change, I decide to tackle the key cupboard that has been on my to do list for a year. It has been sitting in it's bare wood state for ages, and the one we were using wouldn't close.
I painted the wood with a weak-ish solution of Precious metal paint, and put some Croco crackling paint in platinum on the front surround, and when dry rubbed in a small amount of Treasure gold.
I used a green metal for the front, and did some free hand work, and used some of my metal embossing moulds. I then lightly sanded the top to take some of the colour off, and touched some bits of it with lettuce alcohol ink. I then got all gluey by sticking it down with UHU glue.
