We're midway through the STAMPtember celebrations at Simon Says Stamp and what a great month it's been so far! And we're keeping the party going with this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge theme which is, "It's a Wrap" (packaging of some sort). I decided to make some gift boxes using some of the stamps I drew which are now produced by Inky Antics.
To make the individual components of these box bands, I cut some patterned paper for the background and some scalloped pieces out of some collage paper I'd made for an earlier project. The scalloped edge was cut with a die from Pink and Main. Next I stamped the girls, colored them with alcohol ink markers and cut dresses for them out of more scrap paper.
All that was left was the assembly step! I layered all the elements and glued them down just to the box lids (so the lids could still be easily removed).
I wanted some more dimension, so I added Tim Holtz paper bouquet flowers. I colored them with Distress Ink that I'd watered down and dripped onto the flower petals. I also added some string and tags from Mama Elephant to finish these off.
Here are the supplies I used that you can find at Simon Says Stamp:
