Adventure Box with Quick Quotes Gypsy Road

Hi!  Alicia here today with an altered project for Quick Quotes!  I have been moving my scrap room and came across a cigar box and my creative juices started to flow! It was just before Valentine's Day so I thought of my husband and what a great gift I could make.  I started with the brand new Gypsy Road paper collection.  I measured all the surfaces and cut pieces of paper to fit.  Despite measuring there is always so adjustments to be made especially when you want the lid to close.  I did remove the original hardware, cover the box and replace it for a finished look.

I added plenty of pieces from the Quick Quotes Bundle Travel and cut some travel related die cuts.  I fussy cut a piece of Gypsy Road 100 for the stamps and used a piece from Frames Bag-o-Chips to frame the "address".  I found a cool stamp and used Coal Miner PowderPuff Chalking Ink  to "cancel" the stamps.

I sprayed the exterior with a couple of different spray inks to distress and used plenty of Quick Quotes Powderpuff chalking inks to color, edge and distress.

I added just a drop of enamel accents to make a center for my compass.

I distressed the interior lid with plenty of Rusty Nail PowderPuff Chalking Ink, it was the only part left uncovered because I like the logos.

And finally a side view that shows the "handles" I die cut from Celebrate 400

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great day!
