Pink Flowered Box



I have never made a box before but have seen some beautiful ones on the internet, so I decided to make my own.

I didn't follow any tutorial, I just made it, but I got the box top just a tiny bit too large for the Spellbinders Fleur De Lis die square, and it showed through some of the lace. I went over the edges of the box top with some pink distress stain so it would contrast with the lace.

The pink CS inside the Fleur De Lis is K&CO, and I cut it using the Spellbinders square die. The outside of the box uses the same CS.

The large flower in the center of the top is Prima, and the small roses are some my art supply store packages themselves. They are similar to the Prima ones I used to get there, but are about three times as expensive, and a little larger. They look like the same ones Wild Orchid has. Wild orchid has the same size I used to buy as well as some which are a little larger.

The dots around the lace are Liquid Pearls, and the white pearls on the sides are Queen & Co. I wish the photos were a little clearer. I also didn't photograph the box put together because the Liquid Pearls are still wet.
