Art from the Heart Blog Hop!

Welcome to a very exciting blog hop 
in Celebration of 10 years of 
ART FROM THE HEART!
Lots of exciting things happening at 
ART FROM THE HEART 
next weekend where the big birthday bash is happening. 
Want to know more then click here

So in Celebration we are having 5 birthday blog hops.
You should have reached my blog from Karen "Kaz" Hall,
what an amazing project, and you are following the Tim Holtz team hop.

Here is my project!
This is my configuration box to celebrate the 10th birthday for 
ART FROM THE HEART!
I first covered the box with Crowded Attic paper stash and Symphony tissue tape, then colored the Tissue Tape with Distress Stain. 
You will notice that I put one of the boxes in upside down so I had a surface to glue the word "ART" onto. The word "ART" was made with Grunge Blocks, the base is painted with Pitch Black Dabber Paint and the letters are painted with Distress Stain, glue them all together and sand with Tim's Sanding Grip then use Vintage Photo Distress Ink on a Ink Blending Tool to distress the edges. The candle is held on with a Hinge Clip that is bradded to the side of the box. The "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" on top are letters from Salvage Stickers that have been placed onto a piece of Grunge Board and then cut out as you see them. 
Now just have fun decorating your birthday box!
