Good morning all
Its challenge day at Fab'n'Funky challenges today and our lovely Ciska is hosting our challenge today. She has chosen a great theme for us
Out of the box
In other words your project must include a box of some description
We are sponsored this week by the fabulous Stampfairy
Who are offering a prize of $10 to spend in their shop
I think boxes are something you either do or you don't - if you know what I mean! I make quite a lot of boxes as I often put my cards into a box and tie it up with lots of ribbon and either decorate the box or make a tag to match the card, people are always far more pleased to receive a card in a box than an envelope for some reason! I always use my Crafters companion to make boxes - literally a five minute job with the help of four clothes pegs to hold it until the glue dries - and you can make any shape or size.
I made this box for a gift (some chunky jewellery) to go in and also made a card to match - but forgot to photograph the card before it went.... dir!!!
I found this so hard to photograph - I just couldn't get it at an angle where it looked like a box- I'm afraid this is the best I could do. There's really nothing fancy about this box its 6 inches square and an inch deep the decoration of it comes from the patterned card - its double sided so has a different design inside of the lid and is topped off with a ribbon that I secured under the lid with collall glue. The main feature is the cute tag again finished with a big bow ribbon - I do love my ribbons and bows!
Here's what I did....
Image - Lenny Flowers 3 from Stamp Fairy - available here
Coloured with copics and prismacolor pencils
Card - Kanban (patterned) and bazzill basics (plain pink)
Ribbon - from carnmeal cottage
glitter - (on flowers) diamond stickles

What a clever idea to add a tag with your image, Judith. I would never have thought of that. I love the pink - totally up my street!
