texture at the sunday stamper

Morning all! I do hope you're well and happy! Thankyou so much for all your wonderful comments yesterday - I really do appreciate them. I hope you like what I've got to show you today. Its a book box that I've made for my husband Shaun.

So to start with I painted the book box with gesso then used the prima stencil and black embossing paste to add the texture to the front. Once dry I used London blue dylusions to spray parks of the front and back then whilst the dylusions was still wet chipped sapphire distress ink to the remaining spaces and smooshed it all together. I used urban stamps from papermania to add text and equations (hubbies a physicist so he'll love that). I also added paint splat stamps in chipped sapphire.  The umbrella man is a diecut that I added then the stamped letters (claritystamps) and the clock and bar sentiment. On the back I used a stencil from Imagination Crafts and black dreamweaver embossing paste and finally I used some apothecary papers to line the box.
