The finale...

And so we come to the end of our Flea Market adventure.  The third and final Match Box was created for my sweet daughter, Cristina...
I used a vintage patter instruction sheet to cover the outside of the box and applied some glitter for pop.


Vintage pattern tissue was used to create the rosette, with a vintage flower placed atop the tissue.
Three little pink buttons adorn the end of the box.


And finally, I stamped an old Tim Holtz design onto tissue paper and afixed it to the inside of the box

Thanks for spending some time with me today, hope you enjoyed, My {View}

Petite Inspiration Box Swap continues...

Flea Market Edition, part deux


Sweet Jennie, The Pretty Pekingese, was my second swap partner. She likes anything miniature, lace and ribbon, odd labels, bits of china and her favorite colors are blue, green and brown.


I enjoy vintage wallpaper and was so pleased when I was looking through my stash and found this "old" brown paper with green and white flowers.  Perfect.


Afixed a vintage velvet blossom and wrapped  baker's twine to finish.


Vintage "Flea Market" lovlies tucked carefully inside.


The inside is lined with vintage magazine and newspaper ads with a Hambly transparency over this layer.

Stay tuned...

XOXO
