In2Stamps DT Creation - Kibo

  
Hi

Today I want to show you my first DT Creation using the newly released stamps from In2Stamps.
 
When I received my DT Stamps, I couldn't wait to get started. I stamped and coloured Kibo the Little Elephant first. He is my favourite from the Cute Animals Collection.
 

 
I have used him to decorate this pinch top box which I've made following this template designed by my husband. If you like it then please take the template and make one too.  All I ask is that you credit Lazy Cats Cards with the design and link back to my blog. Don't forget to let me know if you use it, so that I can hop over and see your creations!!!

 

 
Left click to enlarge the image and then right click to save it to your computer. The template can then be printed onto the reverse of an A4 sheet of card. I usually print mine in draft mode to save ink!!!
 
To finish my box I've simply added some little flowers and a bow.  

Recipe:

Stamp: Kibo the Little Elephant from In2Stamps
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Colouring Medium: Copic Markers
Tools: Nesties Large Rectangle and Sizzix Big Shot.  Scor-Pal
Embellishments: Ribbon and Flowers from my Stash
