Tub of Flowers on a Drawer Box

Merry Christmas!

I'd like to share with you a gift I made for my "cousin" for Christmas.

For more information and a link to a tutorial on how to make this drawer box, please visit my blog, Kristie Kreates.

 

For the top of the box I used

"Tub of Flowers" (#82001) from

Biblical Impressions

I stamped the image with Memento ink and colored it with FlexMarkers

I then used a Perfect Medium Pen and applied it over the tub, then brushed on some copper Mica Powder

Mica Powder is available through Eureka! Stamps and QKR Stampede, sister companies to Biblical Impressions.

I love how the tub turned out looking coppery.

I used my scoring board to make the score lines around the image and inked them with Antique Linen Distress Ink.

Here you can see the view of the front of the drawer.

And open with the cards inside.

I really enjoyed making this little box for the cards and I'm sure I'll be making more for gifts in the future.

Thanks for stopping by today.

I hope you are having a wonderful Christmas season with your family and friends. I know I am!

Season of Change

Hello and welcome!

Today I have a card that I made with

"Season of Change" (#35402) from Eureka! Stamps

"Maple Corner" (#34101) from Biblical Impressions

For the leaves I used glossy card stock and alcohol inks.

I used a felt piece on a blending tool and combined a few different colors of ink and copper mixative. Then applied them to the glossy card stock.

I then stamped the "Maple Corner" image with VersaMark ink and fussy cut the leaves. The leaves actually are a corner image, but I cut it apart to use it in a little different way.

The background was made with Distress inks applied with a foam blending tool.

You can just see a little bit of the shine that they copper mixative gives the ink that I used on the leaves. Sorry I couldn't get a better picture of it. It really does shine when you see it 'in real life'

Thanks for stopping by today.
