I'm back with something different than a card - a blog candy giftbox. The images I have used are spring night (left) and Moonlight siren, both by ching-chou kuik. I masked the images and coloured with my promarkers.
The box is super easy to make: a piece of patterned paper about 12x30cm and then one matching piece about 12x8, folded, for the top flap. The candy is in a see-through bag and attached with tape and staples. After it was all assembled I punched 2 holes for the ribbon and attached some embossed die cuts to the left and right of the girls.
I really wanted to play along with a special challenge because they had a very fun recipe. The only thing I needed extra was 7 buttons and another patterned paper (I cut out the text from a PP). I haven't decided if I like it better with the buttons and the text or not. I think the buttons make it a bit interesting, but they also take away from the images. Maybe it looks too cluttered - what do you think?
Katarina, you alway have wonderful stamp ideas and this gift bag is gorgeous and unique. I love how you put two mermaids together, as if it is two friends enjoys the day together. Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteNice project Katarina. I love how you think outside the box!
