Beatrix Potter Box with a little Gift

At Let's get shabby they are Beatrix Potter inspired this week, and they certainly gave me the same inspiration. I loved her stories when I was a girl, and now my daughter loves them too :)

I've made a box (ca 9,5 X 12 cm), and decorated it with images from the Tom Kitten story.
I bought a book for Hedda (my daughter) with B. Potter-stories, and - lucky me - that book had a lot of stickers also :D (I had to admit that when I say I bought it for Hedda, it's not the whole truth - I wanted it myself too...)
The stickers are attached to cardstock, then I cut them to the shape I wanted.
All edges (on the box, the panels and the stickers) are distressed with DistressInk WalnutStain.
I've used blue flowers, a lot of small beads on top, and some bigger beads along the edges (that can't be seen on this picture). I've also used some lace and ribbons.

I chose Tom Kitten because I have an absolutely adorable stampimage of him that I wanted to make earrings of.

Here's the earrings. I've attached them to a piece of cardstock where I've stamped and embossed the Tom Kitten image - i think he looks cute without colours as well :)
The earrings are made of shrinkfilm.
