This month at ATP the monthly challenge is all about letters.

Below is a pictorial guide to my entry.

Alphabet Soup!

 The finished result above was made using the step below.

 Four Naked letters

I took a used box that my phone charger lead came in.

 I used the Mermaid and Haystack Fresco paint 

(the Guacamole photo bombed)

I covered the box with Tissue Wrap using Studio Matt Medium as an adhesive.

I painted the letters with Mermaid Fresco and then stamped the music script (below) on the top surface. I used a black Adirondack ink pad to stamp the script and used Black Soot Distress Ink (DI) pad to edge the letters.

 After covering the box with tissue wrap I diluted some of the Haystack Fresco and gave a light covering across the whole box. I then used Vintage Photo DI through a stencil by Lin Brown.

On some card I stamped a keyboard and added other details. I used a Kaiser Craft record image, some rub ons by Tim Holtz and added a title.

I finished off the outside of the box using Vintage Photo DI pad.

 For the inside of the box I painted the it using Haystack Fresco. I then stamped onto some card the 'Dictionary of Musical Terms' stamp and edged the card in Vintage Photo.

 I took a piece of wood effect card and stamped the musical score randomly across it before gluing it into place on the base of the box.

The 4 letters fit perfectly.

I hope you like this simple way of covering a very boring box and making it useful again.
