Challenge #21 - 3D Project

Hello and welcome to another round of Inspiring Inkin' Challenges. We've been loving all the entries so far - thank you to all the ladies who have joined us. We hope to inspire you to create a fantastic gift this fortnight. Our challenge is for you to make a box for a set of cards and the side twist is to make those cards to go inside the box. Which box and style you choose is totally up to you. We have 3 different style boxes and as you will see, all three will make fabulous gift sets for someone special.

First up is Amy with her gorgeous Sale-A-Bration set of cards and matching box. I love all the circles on the front cover of her box.


This is the box open to reveal two pockets full of the matching cards.


The following photos are the gorgeous cards Amy made to go inside. Check out her fabulous DSP! She used the Sahara Sand DSP from the hostess pack, randomly stamped some trees from the Good Neighbors SAB set and the swirl from Baroque Motifs, which was also embossed. She then inked the edges with Creamy Caramel ink. This paper is absolutely gorgeous!

And this is the criss-cross box without its lid.
