Midsummer Night Calendar

I just finished another project and I love how it turned out!  I used some of my favorite paper (Sweet Nothings by SEI), my favorite color combination (pink/brown), and followed the sketch from Sketch Saturday. The brown paper is from Kaisercraft. The image is Midsummer Tilda and I think she is adorable!  I used diamond stickles on her dress, colored her with copics, and inked the edges with Tim Holtz Walnut Stain Distress Ink.  The mini roses are from Prima.  I also used a Martha Stewart punch and added some ribbon to it.  I then made the card into an easel card/box with drawer.  I re-sized and printed out the 2011 calendar punched some holes and added two little heart shaped brads.


Here's the easel card open with calendar:


Here's the inside of the card:


And one last shot with the drawer pulled open.  This would be perfect to sit by the telephone and to keep paper inside to jot down notes on!
