Mixed Media Memory Box

Time for another great challenge at Creative Artiste this month. The mixed media theme is anything goes.  Our sponsor this month is Stamplorations. Stamplorations has a great selection of stamps and stencils.  I have used a weathered wood stencil to make my memory box. 

Top view of the box.

I used a plain dollar store wooden box for my box which I used a weather wood stencil to give the box the texture and look of an old box. I created the texture with molding past and used three brown tone colours of acrylic paint.  My focal point of the box is a collage using several photo cards from Tim Holtz's found relatives cards, Tim Holtz film strip die, tag that I stamped with a love poem stamp, and real film strips from my stash. 

To complete my project I added several findings including  metal corners, locket, key, jute trim, and a clock. 

Hope you will join us this month at Creative Artiste.  Pop over to our Creative Artiste challenge blog to see the inspiring creations of the design team.  Thank you for stopping by and have a creative day.
