Artful Flight

I am so into Birds... I love either birds that are realistic or silhouettes. My Niece, Kristen, is also a bird girl. This is the Valentine box that I made for her:

Artful Flight:

Notice the ribbon on the side - the top of this actually opens like a card. The flower is made with 5 layers from my Spellbinder's Flower Creations Die, smooshed up and then misted with Tattered Angels Vintage Pink glimmer mist.

Here is a side view:

What the gift printouts look like inside:

See the post below for a link to the box tutorial!

Happy Creating!

KAT

Stuff:

Paper - Hey Sugar (Cosmo Cricket)
Ink - Black Archival, Spun Sugar Distress (Ranger)

I love the box! And I guess the hitch fasteners have got to be one of the greatest inventions of all time. Love using them as drawer pulls, as you did, and also fasteners for GP bracelets, purses, etc.
Just a totally stunning piece of art, Kat!

Fans of the Breitling Navitimer
include the comedian Dave Chapelle, "American Idol" TV host Simon Cowell, musician Miles Davis, and actors Tommy Lee Jones and John Lovitz. The rapper Ludacris goes for the Breitling Avenger
. Superocean
offer various high-tech features like the flyback function, split second, moon phase, date display, circular slide rule on the bezel and other complications. Even though many wearers of Chronomat B01
probably do not know how to operate such complications, nor do they need them, just having them in a watch (the way they look) has made them luxurious, pricey and therefore, desired.
