I was given a Christmas present in this box a couple of years ago and I thought the box itself was so lovely I would keep it (I am a bit of a hoarder). Recently I had to make a keepsake box for someone and it turned out to be just what I needed. All I did was add some words and a few handmade flowers to the top.
It's hard to see from the photos but the lid is a pale aqua colour. My flowers were coloured with blends of SU inks and have a lovely silk painted feel to them which is also hard to see from the photo. I had another go at making the roses from the StampARTic blog and was really pleased with the outcome.
I very much enjoy making these roses but do feel they're a bit bulky for cards and am a bit stumped as to what else I can do with them. If you have any ideas do please share.

Hi Julie,
I have a great idea bag them up and send them to me LOL!!!
only joking honest x
your flowers are always outstanding and so lifelike, they really do look like silk when you take a close up shot definitely don't look like they are made with cardstock.
I love your idea of the box i think they too would look lovely in those frames that are deep maybe you could make little flower arrangements in them and have them to hang on the wall x
enjoy the sunshine

This is beautiful Julie. What a great bit of re-cycling. I'm a bit of a hoarder myself and have a stash of boxes waiting to be transformed (If I ever get around to it). Sue.x

Gorgeous Julie, what do you make the flowers from? x
Your flowers are beautiful, Julie...absolutely perfect. I've been working on punched flowers lately and can't come anywhere near the quality of yours.
Your other cards are great too. I came to your blog because you commented on a card I added to my small gallery on Splitcoast and have added you to my bookmarks.
Thanks for your kind words....I love your cards.
