Over at Anything But A Card (ABAC) this week they are asking to see texture, so I decided to make another box using the flowers I'd made earlier in the week.
I made the box from my new Sizzix die (box candy drawer) using chipboard and then running through a couple of different colours of chocolate box core card. I needed to use the crease plate for these as they were much thinner than the chipboard.
Once cut, I put them through the Cuttlebug stylized flowers embossing folder and sanded to lift off the brown and reveal the pinky / purple core colour.
I added a T!m idea-o-logy hitch fastener and a distressed flower to the front of the drawer to make a handle.
A view from the side.
And finally with the drawer open.

What a gorgeous box Sam!! I love the flowers - of course - and I have that EB folder so I love that too. The flower strip is so versatile that I wonder what I ever did without it to be honest. Gorgeous colours too.
Glad you joined us at ABAC with this fab project.
