Dad's Shabby chic box









Hi Everyone
I just thought I 'd share this with you all. I have had this book box kicking around my craft room for a while now. Well! it's my dads birthday next week . He is 81 years young. So I thought!   Ding!!!!  (light bulb moment) I'll cover that box and make a card to match. He can use it to put his nik naks in. He has been painting vintage motorbike pictures lately, so I thought I would keep to the theme. The papers and toppers are from Shabby chic vintage travel cd by Debbi Moore designs. I used leather effect card for the spine and velvet paper for the inside . I added metal corners and cogs plus a faux lock from my stash I will be entering this into the following challenges
