I have been working on some home decor to give my living room a paradise theme so I had to get some of the Paradise papers in somehow! I cut some strips of chipboard and painted them to give a wooden crate effect.  After gluing them and adding brads and turned the the chipboard letters which were covered in papers, stamped with gilding flake glue and added flakes.  I then went around the edges with distress inks and guilding wax to hide the raw edges.

To finish I had glittered up a page of the butterflies from the pad and cut out a whole load with a scalpel.  They were shaped and added all over. Metal charms and some paper flowers from the same pad were added.  Finally I used my cropodile add eyelets for the string and for some ribbons.
