Botanical gift box cover.

This is the top of a gift box which I did in various green Glimmer Mists by Tattered Angels. For the window I did the botanical theme, concealing the pressed drieds and music paper. Punched 2 holes in bottom of window area to tie the hand made music ribbon. This makes a wonderful gift box where I often place one of my journals, a bookmark, a glass pendant, gift tag, kleenex pack and a music title clothespin of which all are handmade. The box can be used by the recipient for storing other things later. Watch for more ways that I have decorated these gift boxes.

Gift boxes with acetate window for grad gifts.

1. Last week I promised to show the picture of the box tops that I decorated to place the grad scrapbooks in. I used Glimmer Mists and a few butterfly etc glimmer screens. On the acetate window I lightly added some alcohol inks then glitter on a glue stamp of the butterfly.

2. On the box above I painted it with watercolors and stamped a few birds etc. The window was stamped and alcohol inks were applied at random. At a later date I will share with you a few other ideas for the windows on these boxes.

Collage with hand painted paper with digital additions.

Used my own hand painted paper then added the digital bird etc. Bird, butterflies and moon images from Dover.
