HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY #689..DT

 Hello everyone,

The week is over, a new Wednesday is here and there are featured projects up on our blog and time for the next challenge, all happening at LITTLE RED WAGON  ..

This week our lovely Jan is hostess and she says, HAPPY,HAPPY, BIRTHDAY! - any type of Birthday

So, let's go..


I wanted to do an explosion box, I have seen them around and wanted to play,
so made a pink base, then these papers out of my stash Couture Creations and made the panels..


Toadstool dies and made quite a few..


Did some fussy cutting from the papers.
top hat and flowers..


Found a tiny deck of Alice in wonderland cards in my stash, so inked up their edges
and had them already to go.




Glass berries, these were from Ali Express a hundred years ago, well ,not a hundred years ago, but definitely a long time ago.. [ I hoarded them]


But they going to be good in this project,
 to fill gaps and for dimension..


So box all paneled up and lids fits, that is always a bouns.


Decorating the inside and sort of made them all the same,
just rearranged elements.


Four inside panels getting there and now playing with the top hat..


He is my base to work on..


Then the tea pot, berries, flowers and cup with saucer added..




Some extra flowers here and there..toadstools coloured with markers
and white spots with Nuvo crystal drops! [warm ones]


The playing cards..


and with the fussy cut flowers..


BOOM!..


Then added this key, another find in my stash..


Little fences and ladybirds..


Lid all done..


and a close up of the box center and the tiny rabbit clock charm
and gold embossed sentiment.
DONE!..

phew, that was a lot of work, but really fun,
 so I made three more, and will show you later..


So come on over HERE and join in..

Thank you so much for stopping by,
I'll see you tomorrow with DT number two..

Luv CHRISSYxx

Another AWESOME card, Chrissy!!! I am just so impressed with your creations and the work you put into them. I feel positively lazy in comparison.

Brenda said...

Just WOW, WOW, WOW! What an eye you have for detail and what energy to create 3 more! May have to give on of these a go, I think I have a cut file for one of these, is that cheating?

Brenda said...

Just WOW, WOW, WOW! You have such an eye for detail. I think I have a cut file for an explosion box, may have to give it a go now that I have been inspired by yours. Is that (the cut file) cheating?
