My first " configuration box"

51/2" by 51/2" configuration box
close up

I have had this configuration box around awhile and finally I did something with it. What fun these boxes are to play with. I used Adirondack Color Washes Expresso and Butterscotch on all of the pieces. I then went over it with Ranger Stream re-inker using a variety of brushes and sponges. I stamped over that with TH stamps and Archival Ink. All of the items are from my stash. Most have been altered with paint and/ or alcohol ink.
I am entering this in the Gingersnap Creations - Once in a Blue Moon where I am choosing GC67 -Go 3D. I am also entering it for Simon Says Stamp and Show a Lord Tim of Holtz Technique.
Thank you for looking!

  6. VERY Cool! I've been thinking about doing an old type tray - but the thought of it always overwhelms me. A little one like this perhaps would be better for me. Looks like you had fun.
