Crafts Galore Encore March 2015 Challenge

With February being a short month March is upon us already. Happy St. David's Day and welcome to the March challenge for the Crafts Galore Encore Challenge Blog. It is a month long challenge and you can enter up to three times. A full list of rules and details of the sponsor's prizes are on the challenge blog. The theme for this month is everyone's favourite:
"Anything Goes"
Our fabulous sponsor this month is Di's Digi Stamps who are offering a $12 voucher for the lucky winner.


I have an altered wooden box for my DT make to show you today. It's the perfect size for notelets.
This started life as a wooden cheese box. I applied a couple of coats of gesso followed by pink acrylic. I then covered the top with a doily and a small scalloped circle. I wrapped ribbon and lace around the edge and made a layered bow topped with a paper rose.

To decorate the top I used paper roses, a ribbon tab. a string of pearls and wired pearl strands which I curled. The butterfly is from a Docrafts die. I gave it a Frantage treatment and some pearls.

I used a Docrafts die to cut out scalloped circles for notelets and edged them all with Spun Sugar Distress ink. I stamped a small bird and butterfly on each one.
I think this makes a lovely little gift - perfect for Mother's Day - and was easy and fun to make.
Please visit the Crafts Galore Encore challenge blog to see the other inspirational projects from my fabulously talented team mates and enter your crafty creations.
