Inchie squares gift box

This lovely gift box is so cool to make. It's called a one sheet wonder card box.

It will hold a whole stack of C6 envelopes and handmade cards.

Created from a piece of 12 x 12 " white cardboard (the backing piece that comes with a pack of patterned paper) and lots of squares of embossed paper.

 This idea comes from the lovely Tanya Bell at StampingT.com.au

She made hers with 20 x 1 1/4" squares of patterned paper.

 I have stepped it up by using the Natural Composition Specialty embossed paper and simply sponged all my squares with Elegant Eggplant ink.

 My embellished box uses the gorgeous two-tone grey ribbon in the seasonal catalogue, two different purple ribbons from Stampin' Up! and several blossom and flower punches.

I did a fair bit of scrunching and distressing of the flower (great stress release) and added three beautiful feathers.

Enjoy!!!
