If you happened to see the post below about sponging up embossed paper with ink - swiping the ink away to reveal the embossed pattern again, then you will recognize that I used this idea once more on my box lid!
In fact, that is how this box came to be! I started inking and created 2 small squares of our Bridal Paper in white, re-inked to a pinky-red and a yellow.
Then I tripped over a small lid in my drawer. It has been there about a year! It was made using our mini-scallop envelope, and I guess I got distracted and left it - or maybe I ran out of inspiration.
However - armed with the two pieces of scrap paper and a box lid - I had inspiration at last! The squares fit perfectly inside the box lid - and this all culminated in my creating this box. What I also think is nifty is the flower I stuck on top. That's an idea my daughter pointed out to me in a gift store - a small photo album had a fake flower on its cover. I was on a roll! I decided to add beads - so with soft bead wire, I created the little beaded corners (this requires patience! but its not all that hard).
So with a few tweaks and a few twists, I finished my box and it is sitting in my china cabinet, now I just need an occasion to use it for - it would make a really nice gift box don't you think?
Thanks for dropping by!
Cheers!
