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.
