Hello and happy Friday friends! Today I would like to share with you my graffiti inspired memory box. I had a lot of fun with this and I hope the friend it is going to will be just as happy with it as I am. Gina has a great selection of these 5 x 7 boxes. This one was a custom order for me, but you can get any of the ATC Shrines in a 5 x 7 size. Just email Gina and ask!
I used a simple paint technique on the box itself then covered it with some Kaisercraft basecoat paper. I love this paper as I looks like brick walls. This was the beginnings of my graffiti look.
Above here you can see the top of the box. I have used one of the stackable labels from Gina's and some sticker words on top of it. I painted the label a soft blue and then distressed it with some Prima chalk ink.
On the back, sides and inside of the box I did a lot of mixed media work. I used various stencils and stamps to make it have a very urban feel. You can also see at the top right corner I have added one of Gina's Steampunk doilies and a metal hinge on the side as well.
The new chain and gear frames are so much fun to work with. I embossed them with some platinum embossing powder. The background you can see more of my texture paste in script and boxed letters.
I hope you will stop over to the store today and pick up one of these memory boxes, they are super fun to alter!
Thanks!
