One Starry Night - Ornate Gift BoxCompleted by Shelagh E Osborn Wright

I printed outer box parts of this beautiful design onto matte photo paper and inner parts onto smooth card. But I recommend printing all in the same card as I needed to trim down the smooth card as it didnt print out exactly the same size!

I followed the photographic instruccions carefully, I read everything through before starting , and as long as you number the reverse, its all quite straightforward.

There is quite a bit of cutting out, but the result is a gorgeous, sturdy Christmas Nativity ornate gift box.

I used wet glue throughout. This gives that extra positioning time.

The top Nativity scene panel, decoupage and sides of lid I added with thin foam.I used gold wink of stella ink to edge the carrier base and used various colours of wink of stella to embellish the decoupage,this gives a lovely shine.

Im very pleased with the result, although there's room for improvement!!
