It's been a while since I bought any of the 8 x papers by Craftwork Cards, but when I saw the new Time Flies Kit/Collection I just could not resist it! I took an empty cardboard box approx. 8 inches by 5.5 inches x2 inches deep (you know the kind that comes from a certain shopping channel renowned for it's quality, value and convenience - lol!) and covered the outside in purple card stock.
I then chose a few sheets of the Time Flies collection, distressed the edges with Seedless Preserves distress ink and covered the lid and the inside of the box. I cut out watch fobs from another sheet of paper and added glossy accents around the edges of the watches to give a little bit more dimension and I cut circles from clear acetate to make the watch glass before decoupaging them onto the box with thin strips of 3D foam
I added a Graphic 45 lock, a small key (both of which were distressed with Seedless Preserves distress ink and some cream paint) and a small ribbon bow along with a few paper roses. The feet of the box were wooden drawer knobs (very kindly donated by Sheila from Pink Tulip Creations) which were painted with cream paint and them had the same distress ink added.
Hope you like it!
