Recipe

Debbi Moore The Flower Bloom CD

Flower punched

Tim Holtz Distress ink

Black embossing powder

White Acrylic paint

Crafters Companion Spray&Shine

Buttons&Ribbon from stash

First I took apart the top so I can paint it the stamp the script and emboss it. After I used the Black Soot distress ink. Put it back together and punched my flowers. The biggest and middle one are quoter flowers what I had to build up and because they not flat they give dimension to the flower. The top flower just a normal flower punch and to finish the flower of just used a flat bead. I printed of the sentiment from the the CD and varnished it with the spray. With in 2 month I'm on the 2nd can and it's running low. Maybe I use it too much. Well I think bit of shine look good. I have bought these leaf punch(s in 3 size) years ago (3 yrs) and this is probably the 3rd time Ive used it. I just keep forgetting I've got them lol but don't you do the same? Oh I bet you do!

Oh enough of me yapping. I didn't take the inside apart I just covered it with paper then stitched on 2 buttons (1 inside the other out side) and made sure I put the pearl button on before (happened on the 2nd go but did get there in the end lol )

I made a sentiment which sits inside the box perfectly, I've varnished this one too. Punched a hole on the sentiment and just put a small ribbon so it's easy to lift it out. I have made a mistake can you spot it?! I bet everyone screaming how blind I'm using different colour ribbon. I know got to change it but last night when I found this bit of ribbon (my friend was abt to through it away and I just had to save it lol) after matching the colours up and seen it's not good I had no energy to change it but will do it I promise.
