Going In Circles

Hello folks.  We have another challenge at One Stitch At A Time so how about popping over to see all the fabulous creations by the design team.  The prize this month is an awesome digi pack containing several images and a paper pack too - how cool is that.

Challenge #238

Theme 'Anything Goes with FLOWERS' 

I love a flower challenge, there really is something so special about flowers, the wonders of nature all wrapped up in one beautiful object, the colours, the smells, the delicacy - oh the images in my head of flowers :) :) :).  For this challenge I worked with the Going in Circles paper pack  by Panda Bear Designs and decided to make a pillow box using one of the papers to cover the box and another of the papers from the pack to make several of the embellishments.
The box was cut on my die cutter and I used the Joanna Sheen - Large Lattice Fan die which I cut 5 times and attached standing up so the box would have a fair bit of height.   Liquid Pearls and Pink Stickles were used on the top three rows and then I added a Spellbinder Les Papillions butterfly cut from the same paper as the fan.
A fine clear and silver lace was wrapped around the box and then Washi Tape and a thin pink ribbon to finish off. For the bouquet I gave making my own flowers a try again, I really struggle with these, especially roses so am really pleased with the way they turned out this time.  The were made with the Spellbinders Bitty Blossom die and the leaves were cut using Spellbinders Foliage.  Some cream lace under the flowers along with a pink tassel were added and to finish off a small pink bow and angel metal charm.  The final bit was a few blasts with Crafters Companion Silver Varnish and there we go, all done.
 And there we go, the finished box :)
