I have had this little project on the go for a 3 days!! Not that it is a difficult project I have made many of these little boxes for all times of the year but there just does not seem to be enough hours in the day let alone time for crafting!!! So when I saw that the Stampman Challenge #20 this time is for embossing I was thrilled that I could join in.
I cut the shapes for the top and bottom from Tim Holtz Alterations die and ran them through a Sizzix embossing folder, which I thought gave the texture of a basket. I used Tea Dye Distress Ink to lightly cover the raised areas of the embossing, Easter Eggs words and picture are from TH Idea-o-logy Salvage Stickers Seasonal pack , I mounted the picture onto card and inked edges with same DI. Flowers were punched, embossed and inked again with Tea Dye DI.
Top and bottom shapes are adhered to a small box which I made in kraft coloured card, and tied a knot in Chocolate ribbon.
Also Over at Our Creative Corner the challenge this week is A 3D Easter project which hopefully my project will fit.
Filled with chocolates waiting to be eaten..... mmmm will they make Easter.........mmmmmm they have lasted 2 days so far!!!!
This box is not my design just my adaption of something I think I first saw on SCS a long time ago.!
