Hello... my mojo is slowly returning, although it's taking me every effort to craft at the moment. I wanted to make something for my mam, I'll be seeing her shortly and wanted to give her something handmade... so I've made her this little box...
The box is 6x6 inches which I will be filling with handmade cards. I got the box idea from the Magnolia Ink Magazine (2nd issue), there's a really easy step by step tutorial by Kim to follow, so I thought I'd have a go. I've followed the sketch over at Just Magnolia challenge. Here is a close up of the image I've used, I've coloured Tilda with Promarkers...
I also wanted to put some pretty flowers on the box to fit in with the sketch, and also some lace around the edge. I've added glitter to the flowers... I bought this glitter AGES ago... it's Craft Planet Glitter Glue 'iridescent sparkle' and it just lasts forever! The little flowers were really cheap, 99p I think for a pack.
The card I used to make the box is Papermania 12x12 textured card, the paper is Papermania Regency A4 pack (distressed with Tim Holtz Distress Inks) , the swirl stamp is Inkadinkado and the sentiment is from Paper Make Up stamps. Finally I've added some raffia, velvet ribbon and a few pearls.
I shall also enter this in the Colour Create challenge 'Your choice of Pastels', Simon Says Stamp challenge 'It's so distressing' and the Passion For Promarkers challenge 'Use two images' - Tilda and the swirls.
Thanks so much for popping by today, have a lovely weekend and a Happy Easter!
