something a little different

Morning all - I hope you are all well and happy - thanks so much for all of your comments - they really do mean so much to me.
I've got something a little different to share with you today - I've altered a packaging box that create and craft send their clarity stamps out in - and made it into a gift box - then stamped some simple images on cards and turned them into note card.





The stamps are all from chocolate baroque - and the paint used to coat the box initially was paint fusion acrylic paint.

I'd like to enter this project into the following challenges:

sweetstampinchallengeblog: Books and text
fabnfunkychallenges: anything but a card
simonsaysstampschallenge: Kristina's inspiration I've done the Black and white plus blue
Crafty Embeliescrafty-emblies: fauna and flora
Craftymess CBcraftymesschallengeblog: Birds
Secret crafterthesecretcraftersaturdaychallenge: Gifts

That's all for today - thanks for stopping by!

Crafty Hugs
