Flower Box





Here is a little box I made a while back during a green phase of mine.  The box is made from plain white card and is coloured with shabby shutters Distress Stains oversprayed with silver mica spray.  The sides are stamped with a swirl stamp and the same Distress Ink and embellished with flat backed gems in dark green and crystal. 







The top of the box was embellished with a series of die-cut flower layers cut from green card and coloured with markers and edged with darker green ink.  The layers were assembled with foam pads to add dimension.

Simple project and suitable as an entry into the Pan Pastels Challenge Blog which this time is 'add a flower'.
