A special Box for my Friend!!!!

Morning Everyone,
Have you missed me!!! lol think not...Sorry I haven't posted anything but have had a few family problems and then yesterday I had a class to teach at my local craft shop again..I have this box to show you I have made it to put a special present in for my friend hope she likes it...



I have cut two panels out of the side and put acetate in so you can see into the box..



I have used a Tilda image coloured in with distress inks..I have mounted her onto a pink scalloped mat cut with my nesties and put her onto oposite sides of the box and the top...


I have used my new Martha Stewart punch called peppermint to cut out the decorations by the side of Tilda they are backed onto white giltter card but just doesn't show very well on the picc's..down the sides I have cut four pieces of card punched them down each side with my fiskars threading water punch and stuck them to the corners..then cut white card and punched that and then stuck these around the top of the base and the bottom of the top..



on the top I have used some flowers from hobbycraft and cut out the leaves with my McGill punch....



Off to have a look at what my lunch is doing and then I'm going to try and make some cards for some of the great challenges out there..Hope your all having a great weekend the weather is awful here still raining...take care.
