Using the Stone Fish stamp and the Fish Backgrounds stamp sets from Our Daily Bread Designs, I created a key chain of wood (stamped on Mahogany, wood burned and cut out with a scroll saw) and a gift box. Each will also be displayed in separate posts.
To make the keychain, the "Stone" fish was stamped with Stazon on Mohagony wood cut out with the scroll saw. The stamped design on the inside was wood burned. It was then sprayed with a clear Matte finish.
The box is my own design and is created with Bitter Chocolate Bazzill paper and K&Co. Blue Awning dp. The background was stamped on the tan background. The ribbon is really not ribbon but rather suede cording and blue hemp (to tie on the button). The top of the box has torn paper to create waves and stitching.
