Here is the piece that I made.

I love to fill printer trays, divided boxes and little shadowboxes. So I used a box from Hobby Lobby, painted the outside with Martha Stewart green olive acrylic paint and then brushed Golden paint over the green. (I used Quinacridone/Nickel Azo Gold.)

I then began gathering lots of stuff from my stash and my sister's stash. I decided to cover the back of each section with patterned paper. Next came the fun part - adding in all the bits and bobs to fill each space.

Here are a few close ups of some sections.

I hope you will join us at the "Inspire Your Heart with Art Day" linky party!

So cute! I love shadow boxes! My favorites are from Tim Holtz and Seven Gypsies. What a special way to showcase nifty trinkets! And what fun to be in this link-up! I enjoyed seeing your work.
