I have for you today a twelve drawer box which I began a few months ago, kept putting it aside when something more pressing came along, but decided to finish it with some Doohickey Dies and use it for the challenge. There are lots of pictures here so please bear with me... 


This is how the top of my box looks.  This is an Easel Card closed so that you see it completely.  I used #317 Virgo Tilda and I think she is just so versatile. There are several Doohickey elements used on this card which are shown in more detail below.

Here is a closer look at Miss Tilda and you can see the Doohickey Vintage Heart Tag pulled out and open to reveal the sentiment.  The Tag is tied with some gold tulle and SU Basic Grey Satin Ribbon.  I have also used Doohickey Flourish die, the leaves are from the Christmas Die Club kit and the Chandelier glass is from Magnolia as well.

Here is a very close look at Miss Tilda and the flowers.  As you can see I have used a different technique to display her. These little squares are called "Inchies" and there are a dozen different ways to use Inchies.   I divided the card into equal 1" size squares and mounted them on so Basic Grey CS then to stabilize it I mounted the whole think onto a piece of yellow CS.  The added little pearls are from my stash.

This is not the best picture of sweet little Tilda with Bow Knot,  but I wanted to show you the easel card open.  The dies used here are from Go Create, Spellbinder Fancy Labels and Classic Circle and Scalloped Circle.  The sentiment is from LOTV.

Here is side two.  I have pulled out the drawers a little to show you that they do indeed open.  This darling Tilda is Mini Tilda with Daiseymae Tiger. She is retired, but there are still many darling images from this Collection and many more.All the sides were cut with Spellbinder Nestabilities Classic Ovals.

Here is side three.  I have used  Mini Tilda with Dexter the Dragon

The final side of my little box.  Here I have used Mini Tilda with Millie the Mouse.  All of my images have been colored with Copics and Adirondack Lights.
 

That about wraps it up for this session. I hope you'll be inspired to use some of your Dookickey Dies which may have collected some dust ;-}. So lets see your creativity on the Challenge blog soon. Ciao Barb
