nature's treasures box for PaperArtsy

Hi everyone, I am so excited to share this nature's treasures box that I created for PaperArtsy. The current topic over on PaperArtsy blog is a focus on all things Alison Bomber. If you are not familiar with her I recommend you hop over and check out the introduction post where Alison gives a bit of her background. I will say that Alison has a gorgeous collection of stamp designs, which includes both words and illustrations. I have always been drawn to her gorgeous botanical illustration stamps. For this project I chose to focus on Eclectica Alison Bomber Set 25 (EAB25) Acorn Edition, taking advantage of the tie-in to Autumn as well as our current PaperArtsy blog theme: nature.

You can find all the details on how I created this upcycled cigar box into a treasure trove over on the PaperArtsy blog, including one of my favorite details, the stamped seal closure. I'd love to have you check it out!

Take care and thank you so much for stopping by today.
