Dressing Up

A quick simple matchbox project for this week.


Taking some sturdy double sided paper,
I made a small matchbox.

The Dress Up paper has a beautiful pink floral design
on one side with a co-ordinating plain brown on the reverse.


The only additions to the paper & elements cut out from it,
are the pale pink pearls by Mark Richards.


I used the Tim Holtz Vintage Market die
to cut out the letter J for the front,
as I am hoping to pass this little treasure box on
to someone whose name begins with a J!

I'm hoping she will like the shabby,
yet feminine feel to this box.


A view of the back of the matchbox
& the bottom of the drawer
shows that from every angle the box should look as good as the front.
