Hello!
Today I inked up my new Belles'n Whistles stamp called "Picnic Solace" and instead of making a card, I thought I would make a little note card box as I noticed a very nice tutorial on Elisabeth Bell's World challenges blog. Their October challenge (which is their first ever challenge by the way!!) is to make a project, a 3x3 note card box or tote and they've provided links for both tutorials (at Splitcoaststampers), I followed this one - 3x3 Note Card Box Tutorial.
I used beige cardstock for the base and some MME papers fom "The Merry Days of Christmas" collection.
The stamp like I said is Belles'n Whistles called Picnic Solace which I actually won in their previous blog hop. I used a Whimsy Stamps sentiment which is part of the Birthday Letter Seals set designed by Ann Vento.
I added a dotty ribbon wich I bought at a local craft store and used one of my favourite border punches.
The flower was made by me, I put a Woodware brad in the centre and added two buttons (which I actually bought this summer in Greece lol)
The image was coloured with watercolour pencils.
Instead of a card, I made a little tag which I put inside of the box and filled the box with roses.
I used one detail from the same image, coloured it in and added it to the tag. The tag base is a Stampendous stamp and I added a piece of the same dotty ribbon.
I'm actually very pleased how this little project turned out. :)
With this little note card box I'm entering the following challenges:
Elisabeth Bell's World challenges October project, to make 3x3 note card box or tote. I have to say that this challenge blog is just perfect for all those who love Elisabeth Bell images and like me have lots of stamps designed by her. :)
Belles'n Whistles challenge with the theme "Trick or Treat me" (the theme is not Halloween, but to either trick (add some hidden elements to your cards) or treat with a gorgeous card (I hope it doesn't have to be a card...)
Thank you for stopping by and Happy Halloween ! :)
