WF16 Inside, Outside and a Suprise

I ended up redoing my matchbox with the correct measurements. I started by inking the paper with Distress Ink in Picked Raspberry, Cracked Pistachio, and Peacock Feather. Then I did some stenciling with Smoked Hickory, using 2 stencils by the crafter's workshop. Then I stamped both sides of the drawer and the sleeve. The stamps are by Stampendous, TPC Studio and Crafty Individuals. Before assembling the drawer, I added brads to either end to act as drawer pulls. And by adding them before I assembled the drawer, I was able to hid the prongs.
My surprise is a magnet. I used a Sizzix die to cut the dress form and spool. The butterfly is a cottage cutz die. For the dress form and spool, I covered them with Liquitex natural sand paste tinted with gesso. Once dry, I stamped them with a Stampendous script stamp with Hero Art unicorn white ink. I cut the dress form from some sheer fabric, attached with glue at the center and then covered the glue with twine. I wrapped the spool with twine. For the butterfly, I inked it with Distress Ink in Picked Raspberry and Cracked Pistachio and then stamped with Hickory Smoke with a stamp by Hampton Art. The magnet was one of the ad type attached to the front of the yellow pages.
