I first reinforced the bottom to make it sturdier with some strong tape. I took white paint and painted a base coat. The paper line I used was from DCWV the CIA BELLA stack. Each side was measured, cut and then distressed with Rangers Tim Holtz distress ink in vintage photo.
Around the bottom edge I layered a piece of antique lace and then ran a string of the heart shaped pearl trim over the top of it. Also, I used my spellbinder and sizzix dies to cut frames and background mats for the adorable little clipart pics I had downloaded to my computer some time ago. The white bows are from an eyelet lace in my stash with a pink rose also from my stash.
This is a closer look. You can find alot of beautiful silk flowers at your dollar stores. I usually get them and then take them apart. I can layer them and use later the way I want to.
Here I cut a clipart with my circle spellbinder and then used a scalloped spellbinder die to cut a matt for it. Both were distressed with the vintage photo distress ink. At the bottom I made a bow from string and put a (2-Tone Antique Blue Open 10mm rose) from Wild Orchid Crafts in the center. The other clipart is framed by a Recollections punch that I pasted together and made a frame with. I distressed it and attatched it to a piece of packaging from a prima clear stamp set. I took a wine colored seam binding lace and double tied a bow and attatched two (2-Tone Champaigne Pink Open 10mm roses) and one of the blue listed above from Wild Orchid Crafts.
Here is the other side view which is pretty much the same except for the flower centers.
This is a closer look.
Another closer look.
Well this is my project. I hope you like it and it inspired you to look out of the box. I think I plan to make more of these and use them as little gift holders.
Thanks ,
