I made this Kaisercraft mini chest of drawers for my niece Rasmi for her birthday, and also a pennant banner to match. I love the paper from the Kaisercraft Magnolia Grove collection, its so delicate and feminine.
I didn't manage to get a good photo of the banner...sorry!
I started by painting the pieces of the chest in Kaisercolour paint. The colour was called soft moss which is a yellow based green. This complimented the Magnolia grove collection papers really nicely. I then assembled all of the parts. I didn't photograph every step because it didn't occur to me to be honest!
I decorated the top with a Kaisercraft pearl flourish, an assortment of paper flowers and then topped it off with a ribbon bow and an 'R' charm, for Rasmi.
The paper I used on the back is probably my favourite pattern, its so beautiful.
For the banner I used my Stampin' Up banner die and the Magnolia Grove collection of paper again. Its difficult to see in the photo, but I used ribbon to hold the whole banner together and then a layer of lace over the ribbon on the ends to hang the banner up with. The lace looked really pretty and gave it a slightly more vintage feel.
I added some paper flowers on either end to give a bit of dimension
So I hope my niece likes them. I was thinking the chest would make a nice little jewellery box or trinket holder.
