Well hello all you wonderfully talented crafters
I have been putting this box together and was stuck as to how to decorate it so this is how it ended. I followed a tutorial on You Tube for the box itself.
I used chipboard, coredinations, distress ink and dies as the decoration. I found some wooden beads in my stash so used distress ink on them and they suddenly transformed into feet lol.
I made the flower from a tutorial I found on Redannes blog via May's blog, one of my Eclectic DT's. Gosh that was a mouthful or fingerful lol. The leaves are from a spellbinder die. I used an enormous amount of glossy accents. Anyway I kept this simple as the person receiving this is not overly fussy for lots of embellishments.
