This little gift box was made from the template on Mel Stampz blog
here. It was very easy to put together with a Scor Pal. The poinsettia was made by punching out the petal shapes using a leaf shaped punch from a piece of watercolor paper I painted with a combo of Adirondack reinkers, Pearl Ex and a bit of Gum Arabic to bind it all together. The individual petals were then shaped with a plastic paper shaping tool by rubbing firmly on the wrong side of the petal until it curled up. Then I glued all the petals onto a small scalloped circle. Gorgeous, no? There's even a little Swarovski crystal in the center for some added bling. This box is almost a gift in itself, who cares what's inside, right??!! LOL.

ReplyDeleteWoah!!! This is stunning! My first thought was there's no template THIS nice on my blog. LOL. But then I remembered making that box. [You know I made this template and then never made another box? It took so long to make the template that I think I was trying to forget about it. heehee]
