My my project, I also used Graphic 45's ATC Box in Kraft to create a future photo memory keeper box (I have 2 beautiful cats so the Raining Cats & Dogs collection is perfect for me).

I coated the entire box with a coat of Chalkboard Paint. Once dry I gave it a second coat of paint and allowed that to dry.

I measured the papers that I wanted to use and applied those with Gel Medium to the sides, bottom, and top of the box. Allowing to dry or heat setting, as preferred.

Using one of the Stencils from the Stencil 101 pack I applied Texture Luxe™ Gold lightly (with a sponge) through the stencil to the box lid.

I additionally fussy cut a flower pattern and adhered that with Gel Medium and added a touch of Glass Bead Glitter Gel for extra shimmer. This was also attached to the box lid.

A few decorative chipboard elements were added to the sides as well as a large chipboard piece to the top. A few of the smaller chipboard tags were nestled inside for a decorative touch.

Here is a close-up!
