My husband brought me home an amazing wooden box from work. I was excited but I had no idea what to do with it. My favorite paper from The Robin’s Nest is Glitter Copper Butterfly – I love butterflies, copper and my daughter loves the color purple.

I realized my desk is seriously lacking in storage and pictures of my children so that had to change.
I wanted to experiment with my Tim Holtz Distressed Inks and Embossing Powder which I used on the Frame. If you want to see the complete project please check out The Robin’s Nest Blog.

Cutting the chipboard with an Exacto Knife to form a frame. I used the Dusty Concord as the Embossing Ink and poured the Embossing Powder over the frame. Using a Heat Gun set the Embossing Powder. The spots that were missed I covered with the Metallic Copper Paint. I glued Plexi-glass to inside of the frame and added a piece of brown card stock to cover the back, leaving the top part opened to slip a photo in. I added the paper to the frame to make gluing the frame to the box easier. I added the Dew Drops center of the square to complete the box.
