This is stunning! Love the bird that you gamasoled and the red colored background really makes it pop! Who ever is receiving this is a very lucky person!

This is gorgeous! Great job on a fabulous project! Hmmm, I haven't made a box in a while, and I have a Cedar Waxwing stamp I haven't used yet . . . Thanks for the inspiration! Linda

Comment One: WISH I WORKED WITH YOU!!!!
Comment Two: The nestie and CB panel frame up this lil tweeter so fine, and your coloring and shading is remarkable! I love the gold cording too. Each bit of this is gorgeous. Thanks so much for sharing this project, your coworkers will love them!

This is gawgus! How did you do it? I love the look the flower adds to this gift box but I have to say, I've never worked with gamsol before. I usually reach for my copics. One of these days I'll jump in and try it! Great job.
