DTGD11 Bird Box (detail)

Photo Details

Poster: Cook22

I've never tried THIS Secret Box tutorial before, I had fun with it.
I'll take a better photo tomorrow when it's daylight again and my Glossy Accent dew drops have dried to look clear and not milky

.
I followed the tutorial, using orange Bazzill for the box and a pale yellow for the drawers. Paper is My Mind's Eye Bloom and Grow, I'm on a mission to use more of it up.
Side panels have SU two-step bird punch birds on some foliage. Top panel has a rose made from grunge paper following Tim Holtz's tutorial . I used Spellbinders Blossom 1. he leaves are from Rose Creations, crumpled, sponged with Peeled Paint and then sprayed with Glimmer Mist.

Sabrina this is so cute. I love the drawers inside. This would be so fun filled with little embellies. I like the colors you used and the rose on the top is lovely. The whole thing is just adorable.

I would never in a million years be able to make this and get it to open and close. I am so technically paper challenged with precision cutting. How wonderful!
