Starting with the Box!

Hello there,

I finally caught onto the whole make a gift box thing at the end of last year (how weird is it to say that lol) as time was always against me but it really doesn't take as much time as I thought and I don't have to fight with wrapping papers any more!

Here is a box I made for my Nephew's Birthday that has a featured image on the top, coloured with my gorgeous Spectrum Aqua Pens



Added advantage of using the image...I don't have to remember to post the card too, its on the box!

Here's what I used to make it with lots of scrummy Crafter's Companion goodies:
Style – Box
By Sandie Gough
Image – Crafter’s Companion, Thelwell
Spectrum Aqua Markers:
Horse – Desert, Chestnut, Boulder
Rider – Fawn, Desert, Peach, Black, Crimson
Background – Bud Green, Leaf Green, Aquamarine, Fawn, Chestnut

Crafter’s Companion Watercolour card
Crafter’s Companion Kraft Card
Coordinations Pastels Paper Pad
Sand-It Tool and Dust Buster
Craftwell Embossing Folder – Words
Big Score Scoreboard and Tool
Collal All Purpose Glue, Crafter’s Companion Red Liner Tape
Paint Brush, String

Cork Scrabble Letter tiles from my stash (they’re really old)



Thank you so much for stopping by and don't forget there is a ton of great Spectrum product tutorials on the Website...you can find them HERE

Hugs
