Used Tattered Angels masks and sprays to create the background on this cardboard gift box. For the opening I created a "sandwich" of botanicals, wax paper and kleenex, and a snippet of sheet music that I found in my scrap pile on my studio table. Punched two holes below window and added a cotton ribbon I hand stamped the words "dream". Will fill with my hand made goodies and give as a gift.
Had fun using the set of playing cards by making mini cards with them. The bottom card looks flat but it is a oval image placed on the mini card with foam dots then tied the string at bottom.
Adhered the lace to bottom of tray then added cameo images and "cameo" centre with a gimp and bead surround. On the top of the tray I placed a vintage hat pin. Placed glass over it to conceal the different textured layers and sealed edges with silicone, then used beads to conceal the glue. Gave this away as a wedding gift. PS: I apologize for the reflection in the glass of me taking the picture - don't have that mastered yet! Thanks for looking.
Used various papers for these mini envelopes. A great way to upcycle old papers and some of my art papers which I created using coffee in a spray bottle over a plastic lace tablecloth.
Used vintage papers on the outside of this glass. Painted the bottom with black acrylic paint then gave it a coat of liquid floor wax. Can be filled with paper clips if using in the home office or candy or if you sew, a great place to store pins and needles. Digital background texture courtesy of Kim Klassen.
Made these mini boxes out of cardstock. Embossed the gold swirlies on to give it some glitter. I tuck in about 5 mini cards and voila it makes a nice quick little gift.
Found these pansy images in a magazine which I ripped out and glued onto a mini card using cardstock. Inserted only the front into a embossing folder to give it some texture. Used sandpaper to go over the texture to lighten areas. Background leaves gathered from my garden and scanned to my pc. Processed with Photoshop as a "stamp".
