Start by stamping your crime scene tape then masking it off, next stamp Sherlock. 

while your crime scene tape is still masked off use your jagged fence stamp and your ink drops/runs stamp (or blood in my case), Want to add some extra mystery? add a coffee ring stamp! 

for added fun ink up some fingers and add some random prints!! :D 

Who was drinking coffee at the crime scene?? The cops? Sherlock? the Criminal? you decide!!! 

The End Is Near

Hello again! It's me Tera here with another fun project. This time I am sharing a Small keep sake box I made for youngest brother. We just helped him move into his dorm a few weeks ago. 

For this box I've created a distressed Apocalypse style box! 
Fitting for a boys Dorm room Don't you think!?!

To start I painted all of the edges of the box black with the ranger acrylic paint dabber.

 

Next I cut out some vintage book pages, for all of the edges I cut parts of pages without words. All of the  pieces were cut so that there would be a 1/8 inch boarder. Next I added some text. 

  To start I stamped  Man In Gas Mask 2 1/2 x 3, next I stamped Apocalypse 3/4 x 2 1/2  on a scrap then layered it. 

Next I stamped Radioactive 2 x 2 and Crime Scene Tape 1 x 4  on two of the sides 

 

 On the 3rd side I stamped Biohazard 2 x 2, I also stamped The End is Near 1 1/2 x 1 1/4 and layered it on the top.  

  For the finishing touches I added one of the UM Wow Studio Gear Mash  gears. I added some gold and silver mica pieces to symbolize his hunt for money in life!  I also added a grunge board #4 and splatted black dylusions spray ink. 

(all images were stamped with Ranger Archival Pad #0 Jet Black)

Thank you all so much for stopping by! I hope you are all inspired! 

Stay warm It's a snowy mess here!!
