I bought this blank ATC box with a friend in mind, from a local craft store. I decided to use Madame Payraud’s 12×12 paper from docrafts. I cut all my pieces and made sure they fit. I painted the inside with fresco acrylic in sky and inky pool touched here and there to add depth.
I then used distress ink in chipped sapphire around all the edges, and once dry rubbed on some treasure gold in sapphire.
To fasten, I punched holes in the lid and side, and threaded a wide contrasting blue ribbon. I added enough so that the ribbon can sit under the cards and as you open the lid, raises the cards for easy access. Now for the photos :)




A fabulous and delicate work. Love it!
This is gorgeous, Deborah. I love those papers and the colour scheme is fabulous. I really envy your friend! Julie Ann xxx
