Buttons and Bows

Hello again crafty friends and followers,

Here's my second post today - I shall have to be careful, this is becoming a habit!! Lol.

I have been playing in my craftroom over the holiday weekend (mainly to avoid all the chocolate!) and have made a little project to enter into the challenge over at 'Lili's Little Fairies'. The theme this week is 'Buttons and Bows' and I have made an exploding box - here's what it looks like from the outside ...


The box measures 10.5cm x 8cm x 8cm and is made from kraft card. 
I picked one of my favourite colour schemes and 
decorated it with card and papers from my stash, 
together with pink polkadot organza ribbon and little green buttons.


I decorated the top with an LOTV image
which is part of the set - 'Present Trio'
(his little furry friends are hiding inside).


I continued the theme inside, using the other little bears from the trio 
which I stamped twice and coloured with my Promarkers,
then added buttons threaded with a little pink twine.


Here's a close up of the centre piece - 
using another LOTV stamp called 'Recipe Sentiments'.
I also used a piece of acetate to give the illusion
of the little pink bow floating in the air.

I haven't made one of these little boxes for ages and really enjoyed putting it together. Hope you like it.
Hugz, Jan xx
