To close this box: an antique eyelet, loop through a ponytail elastic to catch onto a hitch.
All the faux leather contrast pieces have stitching lines made using a Stampin' Up Chocolate Chip Pen. Off to the left of the lid: the curly label (exclusive SU punch) - see next photo............
Surprise: a happy worm friend! He is made by using circle punches.
Flap is secured with faux leather tabs. Inside is lined with Creamy Caramel DSP (boo-hoo retiring color)
Inside contents revealed (surprise - no treats):
A closer look at the contents:
Can of worms:
A "Fish Tale" journal. Hemp twine used for the fishing line. A silver metallic pen for the hook. Bubbles made using Crystal Effects. The blue water background is ever so slightly embossed for a little texture. Hemp twine is used to secure the pages in the book.
A variety of Lures with an actual 1-1/4" fishing float as an embellishment along with actual fishing "snap swivels" hooked onto the lures......templates are on Laura's instructions........those acutal fishing embellishments give it that authentic feel.........
Back side of the lures:
Back side of the lures:
The fish have large antique eyelets and are strung on one of those actual fishing "snap swivels", then strung with some hemp twine.
On both sides of the fish body, lift up the pectoral fin and there is room for (2) photos or a combination of journaling and photo. The light part of the fish body is lightly embossed for texture using Bog Shot texture plates (it doesn't show up in the photo).
Most of the supplies used were from my retired SU stash - am glad to have finally put them to good use. Gosh, thsis project came out better than I expected and it was very satisfying to finish it to present to cousin Larry.
Thank you for visiting today..............
