It has been 20 days since my last post! Wow! I have been very busy, more so than I realized! Here are a couple of boxes I made for my mom and mother-in-law to say, "thank you" for watching my daughter. I still need to make the cards, but the boxes turned out pretty cute. I painted each box and then sprayed with a matte finish to seal them.
This first one I used Forever Young for the shoes. I embossed them with several layers to give them the shine like patent leather. I then added some Petaloo flowers to the shoes and also layered some Prima flowers for the center flower embellishment. I added some bling to add a touch of flair then voila it was done!
This one I used Storybook for the font and Mother's Day Bouquet for the flowers. I curled the flowers up instead of down and also alternated the white and pattern side for the spike portions. I took a large wood button painted it purple and then added some glitter to it for the flower center. Bling was added to the lettering to give it a little bit more punch. There is a layer of fun fiber around the top and some sequins ribbon along the side.
The sequins were a super steal! I got a bolt of it at a garage sale for, I think, 5 bucks! I also added some rub-ons on the lower piece of the box and colored the flowers in.
The boxes will be filled with embellishments for each mom.
Thanks for stopping by!
Oh, my goodness! These are beautiful! What a delightful gift!
