For this challenge, you watch a great tutorial by Glenda Brooks and then you make a similar project using your style - here is the link to the tutorial if you are interested:
I used a mixture of pearl-ex powder, gum arabic, and water to color my box. My flowers are made with the Daisy II SB die. I didn't wet emboss my flowers I did dry emboss them), but I did stamp them with a scripture from 1 Corinthians about love. I needed a box to put a Wedding Shower gift in - I know this bride will flip over the box.
PT - 30!!!! My hands hurt from the dry embossing and cupping!!!!!!

This is gorgeous. I love how shiny the box is from your technique of paint and the flowers are over-the-top spectacular. I can relate to the hands hurting from scrunchin' and punchin'-smoochin' and distressing! But isn't so much fun you can't help yourself. You will get lots of Ooo's and Aaaa's at the Bridal shower with this magnificent box. It is awesome.
