It took three hours to alter this morning between phone calls.
I inked a piece of paper with a sponge dabber, in a soft lime colour, then with pale brown.
Cut out a piece of it to cover the match box, and then using an ink pad, brushed all the edges with brown ink to give it a bit of character and to emphasize all the straight edges.
I cut a long piece of the inked paper to make into a mini - book for the top of the matchbox.
One side I stamped the TH stamp 'Believe' in brown and embossed it with clear powder.
Then stamped scrolls in gold and embossed with gold to make it rich looking.
The other side of the 'book' has TH quote stamped in brown and again embossed with clear. More scrolls, and gold embossing around
I cut some more of the paper for each end of the 'drawer' and stamped scroll patterns and embossed with gold. Inside the 'drawer' is lined with gold paper - and bubbled up slightly to make it look like gold material
Then to finish it off - it is tied up with gold cord.
