The next box was too large but it was tough I'll get some tissue paper to wrap it in.
So to the lids, here lays the problem why I don't know its quite simple enough. First lid didn't fit, the next was too big and the third sort of fitted, had to do.
Went off and had a bit of lunch came back and decorated box lid was really pleased except it was the too small one apparently I should of binned it instead of having a variety of box lids on my desk.
No way was pieces of card getting the better of me. I managed to salvage some of the bits to put on the right lid but the Impression Obession border round the the lid had to be redone again.
So the top of lid I used Bella Bloom from Simon Says Stamps Exclusive dies and the leaves are Delicate Fern and the leaves are Tender Leaves from Memory Box.
Here's a pic of it at a jaunty angle. That's it no more boxes for me it cheaper and less stressful to buy one.
It sure is a gorgeous box, Debby! Very impressive to have stuck with it! This is why I mainly stick to cards - lol! I'm sure your hard work will be appreciated!
ReplyDeleteWowww, this is gorgeous, such a beautiful box.

ReplyDeleteHahaha that's so funny Debby! Sounds like the first (and last) time I made a box too! I made one base and 4 lids, none of which actually fitted properly.
ReplyDeleteNever mind, yours turned out to be a stunner, bet the recipient loved it!
Wow! Debby!!! this is so gorgeous, love the finished box hon but I tend to agree with you, sometimes it's easier and far less stressful to buy one ready made.

I'm sure it's less stressful, and probably cheaper too, but you wouldn't get a work of art like this in your local shop - maybe keep your talents for special boxes?! Donna xx
ReplyDeleteWow what a BEAUTIFUL box. It's so elegant.
ReplyDeleteYou have got such patience Debby. But you have to admit it was definitely worth it at the end wasn't it. That box is absolutely gorgeous. Such talent
ReplyDeleteIt's a gorgeous box Debby and I know you'll need some convincing - but it really was worth all that effort. Love the flower spray on the top especially.
