BOO Teriffic ATC Holder

This is a re-post from the Sizzix Blog Hop
last year using the ScoreBoard Box with Flap Die
I thought it was perfect for this week's
Terrorific  Tuesday!

This great little box can be used to hold a variety of items..... 

I made a little Halloween Box

to hold ATC's

I used Earth Safe Finishes
Clear Gel Medium, White Opaque Shimmer
and mixed in some
Terra Cotta Colorant
to cover the matboard.
Then I added some shading along the edges
with Black Opaque Shimmer,
letters to spell out "BOO",
fibers and a picture to finish it off.
