Hello Crafters,

Just wanted to share with you this lovely moneybox which has been decorated .

The plywood  moneybox comes plain for you to decorate.Here we have used paper and cardstock .Some of the cardstock has been embossed for texture.Why not try paints , inks or other mediums for the base colour and then decorate in a theme of your choice.These would be lovely as birthday gifts with Money.

Dies have been used to cut the Owl, Branches,Swirls Leaves and Flowers.

A little bit of Paradise.......

    

Tropical colours, featuring hand drawn flowers, butterflies and birds. This Paradise Collection is just adorable.Feathers and Tulle  Bow embellishments give a luxurious touch.

The above card has an acetate overlay which is hard to see in the picture,but gives a wonderful effect.

Gatefold cards are good for mixing and matching the Paradise papers. You have a selection of papers in the pad so all the hard work of choosing has been taken away.
