Mark's Finest Papers Design Team is celebrating our BRAND NEW STAMPS for the Speedy the Cat Designer Collection and Serenity Collection with a Blog Hop! They are available TODAY!
I have been wanting to make one of these Magic Boxes for a looooong time. The stamps in the Spring and Easter Set are fabulous, fun, and just right for the box. I fashioned my box after one that is on the Magic-Box.com website. Each of the side panels are made in layers to add some weight to the sides so they flop down when the lid is removed. I sponged blue skies and green rolling hills for each of the panels. The lid is kept simple with a double bow and one of the butterflies from the set, colored with Copics.
