Shabby Chic/Vintage hidden secrets

Good evening followers and bloggers. I apologise for the late post but this project has took me the most part of the day to make.

Thank you all for your comments. It's nice to hear of you and I do value your opinions and views good or bad as its nice to have feedback on my work. I hope you are all enjoying your weekend so far. I've been blog hopping earlier and visited most if your blogs to see what you've been creating. I'm amazed on how talented abs creative you all are! Thank you once again in being so friendly and welcoming me into blog land.

The project today is called the secret box. I've always wanted to make one if these but never had the courage to do so until today. I got the tutorial to make the box and trays from this blog; Secret box tutorial . Please take a look as its very easy to make and she has done instructions with pictures too which helps.

I made the box via the tutorial and then covered it all using this gorgeous shabby chic/vintage paper from a paper pad called "Almanac Collection" which has such stunning papers in it and was bought from bunny's crafts website. I then cut some paper with my spellbinder die using the same paper pad. I had these gorgeous vintage 3D bear stickers which I used to Matt onto the die cuts and stuck these on the two outside "doors". I finished off with my ribbon flowers, gorgeous rose stems and black lace for decoration. I used some ribbon to thread through the holes of the two large die cuts which close the doors when not in use. The sentiments on top of the box have also come from the paper pad.

This great secret box could be used for many used. Even a jewellery box. Very versatile box.
