Woodware Design team Challenge - Anything But a Card

I'm back! Apologies for a lack of posting but I am extremely busy making over 40 samples for the next Woodware release/catalogue.


This challenge was quite challenging! It's easy just to go along making cards.


So I decided to make a matchbox pinwheel sandwiched between two pieces of the Woodware plain 'Chippies'. I used another one of my favourite sets FRCL162 Fairy Tots to make the topper.

.

I made and used a template to cut, fold and glue 4 matchboxes. I used gold 6mm Woodware brads to make little handles. 


I cut covered the two pieces of chipboard with Magenta gingham paper before rounding off the corners and sponging. 


The little birds are stamped directly on the gingham paper.

I have fond memories of collecting matchboxes when I was little to make a similar project at primary school. More people smoked then and plastic lighters weren't an option.


I used the Sakura clear Stardust pen to highlight the colouring. Added some gold 'Metals', Diamond Stickles, white sheer ribbon bow and faux stiching to complete the project.
