It's Topflight Stamps Tuesday, the last day for you to participate in the Topflight Stamps 9th Birthday Blog Hop for the chance to win a great prize, AND it's also the last day of Topflight Stamps 9th Birthday Sale!
This week's theme is Mixed Media and I've used PaperArtsy's Snowflake, Toffee, BoraBora, and Yellow Submarine Fresco Chalk Finish Acrylic Paints, Matte Glaze, Hot Picks Printed Tissue Paper 2 - Frames, and Squeezed Mattint Fresco Tint to decorate a premade Wooden MemoryDex box that was purchased so long ago that I can't remember where I got it!
Here's the front of it:
Here's one side:
Here's the other side:
Here's the back:
Use a foam brush to apply Snowflake Fresco Chalk Finish Acrylic Paint by PaperArtsy to all four sides, the bottom, the top rim, and the inside of the MemoryDex box.
Squeeze a small amount of Toffee Fresco Chalk Finish Acrylic Paint onto a craft mat. Use a foam brush to apply the Toffee Fresco Chalk Finish Acrylic Paint from the bottom edge of the all four sides towards the top.
Squeeze a small amount of BoraBora Fresco Chalk Finish Acrylic Paint onto the craft mat and use another foam brush to apply the BoraBora Fresco Chalk Finish Acrylic Paint to the top rim of the box and from the top edges of the box towards the bottom.
Replenish the BoraBora Fresco Chalk Finish Acrylic Paint and paint the inside of the MemoryDex box and the dowels.
When dry, paint the bottom of the box with the same colors.
Use a waterbrush to paint a border of water around the images you want to use from the Hot Picks Printed Tissue Paper 2 - Frames by PaperArtsy, then gently separate the images from the rest of the tissue paper.
Use another foam brush to apply a layer of Matte Glaze by PaperArtsy to one side of the box. Smooth one of the border pieces of tissue paper onto the wet Matte Glaze to adhere it to the box. Apply another layer of Matte Glaze to seal the tissue paper. Repeat this process to apply the tissue paper images to all four sides of the box.
Use a foam brush to apply Squeezed Mattint Fresco Tint by PaperArtsy to all four sides, the top rim, and the interior of the box to add additional color.
Squeeze a small bit of Yellow Submarine Fresco Chalk Finish Acrylic Paint to your craft mat. Use a stipple brush to add some splatters and splotches of yellow paint to the box.
Use a finger to apply Treasure Gold Wax to the box to add additional color and some shine to the box. Be sure to clean your finger between colors of Treasure Gold.
Place two-sided tape on the back of a piece of black cardstock. Use an alphabet die to cut the "MemoryDex" letters, then adhere them to the front of the box.
