Pink and Frilly Valentine

Hi everyone! It's me, Tonya and I am back as a guest designer today for the Robin's Nest! I want to share a project I created for a Valentine's Day card swap I am in on Instagram. The thing is my swap partner doesn't know (I hope) that this little gift box will be traveling with the card I created for her. :-)

I started with this little box that my hubby received a knife in. I loved how it is covered in a very nice black linen type of cardstock.

I started by cutting a piece of Rosy Stripe Cardstock to fit the lid of the box. I also inked the edges of the cardstock with a hot pink ink. I folded a 4" doily in half and kinda gathered it to create a ruffle and adhered it off center on the lid. 

Here is a hint add just a little glue to the folded edge of the doily. This way you can add tulle, Rosy Ribbon, pearl sprays, thread, lace, etc. under the doily.

I added glue to the center of a cardstock doily that I had received from Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts on top of the doily along with an image of a little girl I found on the internet. I printed and fussy cut her out. I created flowers and leaves with diecuts and punches from the following cardstocks: Valentine Stripe, Moss Green Glitter Cardstock, Summer Pink Glitter Cardstock, and Vanilla Fluer Glitter Cardstock. I shaped the flowers with a stylus and added buttons, sequin and Dew Drops.

The gold heart is punched from Gold Glitter Chipboard which I added a sentiment and pearlized pins from my stash. The inside of the box I lined with Summer Pink Glitter Cardstock...which I embossed and I also used Rosy Stripe Cardstock.

It is hard to see in this photo but I also used two of the pink Hearts Dew Drops above the cream colors flower. I think the box tuned out perfect which I hope my swap partner thinks so too. If you have any questions about this project please let me know.
