Explosion Box-Poker Theme

Hi Guys,

Back with yet another crafty post... I haven't been crafting much because Kolkata is freezing and keeping my fingers numb...

I recently made a poker themed 18th birthday explosion box on request and well... it was quite a challenge... I have no idea about poker so before going into it, I had to research quite a bit...I won't say am a huge fan of the game ( too many technicalities involved)...

An explosion box makes things easier.. enough space to write and post pics too... :-)

WARNING:- Picture heavy post (when are my posts not picture heavy :P)



      The box lid- poker chips and some cards


Open view of the box and the lid and in the center a small box


















 hand drawn symbols.. :D













Making a gift for a guy is extremely difficult... I have that uncontrollable urge to use flowers and bling and what not... All things feminine come to my mind them.. :P

Supplies used:- 300 gsm black CS locally purchased and scraps for everything inside
PPs:-DCWV, Amy Tangerine, Dream catcher, Echo Park
Stamps:- Fiskars and Penny Black
Ink=>Unity Noir and Memento Lilac Posies
Dies=> Spell binders floral ovals and MFT Chevron stripes
Embellishments=> chiipboards stickers were a RAK from Shalini Mittal,.Echo Pak Hello summer sticker sheet, Pie Lane hearts
Punche=> MS doily lace and Fiskars star punch
BIC Markers
Work Lipstick distress ink
seeing spots cuttlebug embossing folder
Fiskars trimmer and Scor-Pal


Entering this card for the following challenges:-
Crafters Corner #4=> Anything but a card or LO
Loves Rubber stamps=>Use dies or Punches
Created with Love=> Anything but a card
OLLCB=> Happy Birthday

Khush
