This week's challenge is to make a Mother's Day/girly project.
I have altered a box and made a card for my Mum .. just a 'because ...' pressie.
The box had choccies in it and I altered it by covering the bottom part with dp and the top part with off cuts of raw silk I had. I made new panels for the sides of the box so I could stretch the silk taut and hide the frayed edges. It took ages and I am not sure I would do it again .. apart from the silk looks more luxurious than paper. I added gardenia flowers, a big bow and some pearls to the lid. Inside there are some smellies.
I used the same dp for the card, and matched the cardstock to the ribbon. The image is watercoloured and distressed, before being stickled. I added a ribbon and bow, and some roses and pearl spray.
Recipe:
Stamp(s): Magnolia (RAK from Vicky)
Colouring Media: distress inks
Papers: MME Bella Bella
Embellishments: all from stash
