Oval Shaped Note book and Gift Box

Oval Shaped Notebook with Tim Holtz Small Tattered Florals
Hello! Today I am sharing my design for the Inspiration post for the Craft Stamper - Take it Make it Challenge. As always the theme is anything goes - as long as you include some stamping. The prize this month for the lucky random winner is a set of 10 Ecoline Brush pens and as usual the design team favourite gets their design published in the magazine!

I few weeks ago I took part in a swap with the lovely people from Let's Be Creative. Our theme was to make something oval for our swap partner so I challenged myself to make this Oval Mini Book. As it was going to my partner I also make a little gift box.

I used Tim Holtz Ornate Frame Bigz die to cut the oval shape (ie the centre of the frame); from greyboard for the covers and also the pages inside. I created a crackled cover, added some stamping and some splatters. All paints are PaperArtsy. My flowers and leaves are die cuts from Tim Holtz Mini Tattered Florals.

On the back I added the initials of my gift recipient:

    So wonderful! I love it! Can you tell me which oval bigz die you used? Yours looks fatter than the Sizzix-659791-Bigz-Oval #2-Fabi edition I found online... Thanks so much for sharing this.

    Oh, how delightful the oval shape is - and the pretty spring colours are so uplifting. Love that it has its own little gift box too. Lovely to see you joining us at Mini Album Makers this month.
