I Think She Was An Aussie - Donna's Storage Box

Hi all,

How wonderful are the papers from Aunty Vera Scrap and Craft this month..

AND can you believe it is Christmas time next month and I haven't even started my Christmas decorations yet EEK!!

Anyway let me get back to this month and the fun I am having..

I have two storage boxes I want to use for some of my special markers and I thought this would be the perfect time to cover them as I do love the papers from this month's kit.

First off, I stamped a heap of images from Sizzix Tim Holtz Stamp Set - Entomology and coloured them in using markers.

I measured the top of the storage box and cut a piece of white paper to size. I then stamped and coloured in the images..

Using strong glue I adhered it to the top of the box leaving a border..

I made a template for the drawer front and cut four out from one of the papers as shown.

After inking around the edges I adhered them to the drawers. I also placed glossy accents on the flowers and nuts on the paper to give them some interest..

Isn't this paper nice, I placed this on the side I wasn't going to embellish as it is going to be against the other box.

This is the piece of paper that I embellished as this is the side that is on display..

I fussy cut the birds and placed glossy accents on it to give them some shine. I used 3D foam tape to make them stand out. Adhering lots of insects on the busy page gave it a little more interest..
