After being subjected to three hours worth of biology lectures I thought I'd take a quick time out and update my blog before I hit the books again. When I was at home this weekend I made another gift box using some 8 x 8" Kraft Card and some of the die-cut flowers from Craftwork Cards. To begin with I made up the little flowers for the top, layering them up and adding gold brads at the center of the two smaller flowers. I chose a sheet of the blue, beige and teal Sweet Pea paper to go behind the flowers as I wanted to introduce some colour to the box. I stuck a small square of the paper on some gold Mirri card before mounting onto the box and decorating with the flowers and a teal-inked message tag.
For the sides of the box I used another of the papers from the Sweet Pea range and cut rectangles of different colours which I then mounted onto gold Mirri card to tie in with the top of the box. To complete I added gold gems to the corners of the sides to add a bit of final sparkle. I love how simple these flowers are to use and they look fantastic on loads of different projects.
Well that's all from me for now, hope you like the box!
