This weeks Twisted Sister Challenge was to make a box - not something I do too often. I have actually had this box sitting around for a while and have not been happy with the way it looked (B-O-R-I-N-G!) so decided that it was time to do something about it. I was also inspired by this weeks Inspiration Challenge, by this canvas: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php...ng_id=27714664
I added lace around the lower edges of the lid and then a strip of ribbon and a bow. The layered Kaiser flowers have been sponged around the edges and popped up on foam dots to give them a bit of dimension, they are held together by a large brad.
The MS Branches have been added under the flowers and one of the Layers of Color Birds ponged and popped up on top of the box. Now I am happy with this box and am even happier to have it out of the UFO (unfinished objects) pile!!
Thank you for looking and for your encouraging comments - you always make my day! You can find me and close ups of this box on my Blog: http://lovelylindascraftcentral.blogspot.com
