Artisan Style ATC Box for Graphic 45

Once in a while things come together so easily it sort of feels like cheating… that was the case with this little box.

 I began by simply painting all of the edges and corners of an ATC book box black.To the top of the box I added Artisan Style Decorative Flourish, the sides are This Old House.

The inside the box is covered with Craftmanship and the bottom of the box is covered with Natural Beauty for a bit of “POP”. A length of black ribbon is wrapped around the sides and a piece from Artisan Style Decorative Chipboard, and a Stamped Metal Brad added.

 Finally, a set of those fabulous Claw Feet. The top has an amazing chunky Fancy Handle that I’ve affixed in the upright position. A little bit of distressing on the edges and the whole thing is complete and looks really elegant.

Now to decide if I should use this fab little box to store these cute Artisan Style ATC’s or maybe some fancy costume jewelry!

    Nichola,

    What I love most about this box, and so much of your creative world, is the way you often create an opening into the story for the viewer or buyer. In this case, the box is just stunning in and of itself but it is the simply stated "Details of a Plan" that opens the WORLD within. . . It's like finding the breadcrumb trail in the forest or reading the simple "once upon a time" that leads one inside . . .

    It's a way of giving permission. . . and it's magic of the highest order. Something that makes all of your work so unique!

    Thanks for always inspiring. . .
