Hollyhocks Desk Set

I have a couple of projects to share from the commission that was published in Simply Cards & Papercraft magazine using the NitWit Collections Bundled Hollyhocks Collection.

I made a trinket box and pen holder, the trinket box has four little drawers to store things in.

Everything is from the Hollyhocks collection including the sentiment.

The pen holder has plenty of space to store my complete collection of Distress Markers.
