Nice Box!

I didn't make this box, but I've decorated it. I'm exploring decoupage techniques. This box has some physical elements that have been applied using paint, a stencil element (I used painter's tape), a pallete of three acrylic paints, stamps using permanent ink and some hand written elements in permanent ink.
The photo below shows the different faces of the box. It looks like the auto focus was thrown off by the glossy surface in these shots, so I appologize for the blur.
I have not shown the bottom or the inside of the box because they are not done yet. I plan to sign and date the bottom and then apply wood stain to all bare areas. I haven't decided if I'm going to wax or varnish over the stain.
