Altered Altoid Tin- Balloon Factory

I had s much fun creating this Steampunk Balloon Factory out of an Altiod tin.
Its for an upcoming swap I'm in.
Wasn't sure if I wanted to show it yet but I just couldn't wait!
The Balloon stamped images are from Oxford Impressions
The guy image from Art Chix Studios

Some random finds and time piece from Tim Holtz.
Entering this in the Anything goes challenge at
