For this weeks design I worked with the image chosen by my teamie Deborah, 'Fairy GunGun' by My Heart Pieces. For a change I made a note pad holder, something I can tuck away as a wee pressie for somebody :) :)
For the note pad holder, I first measured the size of the paper which would be used and then added a bit more. Next I added 1cm to each side and cut. I scored the 1cm sides, trimmed the corners and then folded them. When all the sides were folded and in stuck in place I then used one of 8 1cm strips I had previously cut with the dp and placed it on one of the outside edges. This I repeated until all sides were covered and also did the same on the inside. When the box was completed I cut an area out of the front so it becomes easy to get a note paper out and then stuck it to the base with double sided tape.
The digi was printed and coloured with promarkers and then cut with another Spellbinders Die - Adorning-Squares-7. I used navy blue card as my base to work with and covered the front and rear of the card with dp I have had for ages. Next, using Spellbinders Grand Nestibles 1 and again navy card I made the large front base which I the added corners cut with the same dp I used before, This was then embossed for a bit of texture. Next I used more navy card for the topper and added the prepared digi which I finished off with Ice Stickles on the wings and regular Stickles for the flowers. The design needed a bit of something else, I tried lace but that didn't work nor did ribbon or bows so in the end I settled for Spellbinders-floral flourishes. The final bit of embellishing was to add a few flowers in the same colours as the dp used, some burgundy pearls I have at hand and some flowers on the base in the same colours as the dp. This was a bit of a prototype and seemed to take me ages but I think I have the hang of it now so next time hopefully it will be more successful :) :) :)
