Decorative Box

Hello!

My mom asked me to decorate a small gift box.  I covered the lid with some plain white computer paper before decorating.  I used some kraft card stock as my base then added some pink and finished with white on top.  A little sponging, stitching and embellishments completed this cute little gift box!!  Fun and easy project.

The sweet lady receiving this gift is battling breast cancer.  Her cancer was detected during a routine mammogram.  Please don't forget to do self exams and follow up with a yearly screening.  Early detection is so important!

Gift Box Recipe:
Stamp-Teeny Tiny Wished (SU!)
Paper-Kraft, Pink Pirouette, White, computer paper
Ink-Basic Black, Chocolate Chip
Accessories-small gift box, decorative pin, gingham ribbon, oval punches, sponging, machine stitch, dimensionals, enamel dots by MME, Mini Rolled Roses Die-Namics by MFT

Thank you for looking today!  Happy Hump Day!

Masculine Card

It is Friday....yeah!!!

Next month I will be needing a handful of masculine cards.  I always struggle with these because I just LOVE ribbons, bows and buttons!  It sure is hard to create manly cards with these items...hee hee!  Well, I did my best!  I started with this fun fishing image by Draw Me A Daydream called Fisher Fella.  This is such  a great line!  I love how the face is always hidden behind some sort of image.  Be sure and check out the many wonderful digital sets by DMAD over at McMahon Five Designs.

I had fun coloring the fish with my Copics.  I used the dotting technique (that is what I call it).  I start placing random dots with my lightest color followed by 2 to 3 more darker shades of randomly placed dots.  When I have filled in the entire image with different shades of dots I use a colorless blender Copic over the entire image to faintly mesh the colors. I then highlighted a few areas like the fin, gills and tail.  I hope you like the look!
