For the base of the box I used white
cardstock (12 by 12 inch) and scored it at 4 and 8 inch both horizontally and
vertically.
Cut out the squares (4 x 4inch) from
all the four sides as shown in below picture.
In order to make it more sturdy I layered red cardstock (3 ¾
by 3 ¾ inch) on the base white cardstock (4 inch by 4 inch) with the help of
tacky glue.
Next I pasted the pattern paper (3 ½
by 3 ½ inch) on all the sides front and back both.
For the top of the box I score 6 ¼ by
6 ¼ white card stock at 1 inch – 4 ¼ inch – 1 inch both vertically and
horizontally as shown in below picture.
After that I cut the sides and pasted
the ends with glue as shown in below picture.
In the centre of the box I thought of
imitating a cake so for that I made three squares of size –
3 X 3 inch
2 x 2 inch
1 x 1 inch
And stack on top of each other, and
once dried properly centred it on the base of card as shown in below picture.
For the closer of the box I used a
metallic lock and also placed metallic corners on all the four sides with
brads. On the top of the box I added a frame, bottles and a clock.
On the back side of the box I added a
metal embellishment and a sentiment.
Here’s the box after all the metal
embellishments are placed.
Nothing can emotes, love better than
flowers and that’s why to finish my project I created handmade flowers. I first
die-cut the Papericious sigma cardstock with spellbinder die and then colored the
petals with carnation red archival color from inside to outside with the help
of a dauber as shown in below picture. For one medium flower I used 2 small, 2
medium and 3 large petals.
I embossed the petals from outside to
inside, cupping the petals towards center as shown in below picture.
After
that I inserted pollen in the center of the petal and cupped the petals in the
form of a bud as shown in below picture. For the bud I used two small petals.
Next I inverted the third layer of
petal on a foam pad and shaped it with clay tool as shown in below picture and
pasted it on the bud with the help of tacky glue.
Added the remaining layers of the petals in the same
way to finish my flower. For the filler flowers I used archival ink cobalt and
archival ink saffron, both the flowers are also embossed in the same way from
outside to inside, cupping the petals towards center. For some shine and
sparkle I applied distress clear rock candy glitter on the flowers
For the leaves I used distress ink peeled
paint and pine needle. For the top of the cake I used papericious heart chippie
cut-out and heat embossed it with gold embossing powder.
Finally
I layered my flowers and leaves with silicon glue and here is the finished
project.
