I was inspired to make these by an artwork I saw in the gift shop at the V and A. I had some blank matchboxes and coloured them black. The images (including the backgrounds) are from My Craft Studio Floral Masterpieces CD - I got this CD in a bundle with several others and didn't load it onto my pc as I thought the images were too old-fashioned for me...but I like them for this project! I created the wrappers for the matchboxes in Silhouette Studio and used 'fill pattern' for the backgrounds and did a Silhouette 'print and cut'.
I imagine them on an antique desk in a private library, holding bronze paperclips and spare pen nibs.

Another post for unused items? Just not from the box of stamps:)
I like these, very elegant and grown up in style, will make nice boxes for little gifts...
Pretty and a great idea for up-cycling.

Wow... this is a really creative project. I like that you painted the boxes black under the antique styled cover. Great look!
