This is the outside top of my matchbox, I used some of my new stamps from Innovative Stamp Creations
http://www.innovativestampcreations.com I stamped the small branch and bird on the cover layering piece...I used two photo holders glued together, then inked with the same brown used to color the box, I attached the photo holder handle with tiny antique colored brads...
I used the larger branch and bird on the inside of the accordion book...I made my own little leaf stamp, from the excess rubber as I trimmed my stamps...I just cut a little shape that looked like a leaf...and it worked perfectly...
This is the cover of the accordion book...I painted the chipboard covers with brown acrylic paint, then used Tea Dye Crackle Paint over a section of the cover...I love those cracks...I added a torn pattern paper piece, and stamped my words and coated them with Glossy Accents...I added the Tim Holtz washers and a clear acrylic stone to each washer center...
This is how the book looks in the drawer part of the box and the decorated sleeve...
