Cardmakers Treasure Box

By Sue Smyth 

Hi all

Today I am sharing a cardmakers box.

You can make one or use a pre puchased box to decorate.

This time to alter my Magnolia Flower I have wicked the colour 

onto the petals.

Spritz paper magnolia with water.

Spray a glimmer mist or ink onto a Couture Creations 

craft sheet to form a puddle.

Slowly drag the petals into the puddle allowing the 

ink to follow the water in the flower.

Dry quickly.

Use a yellow copic or pen to colour the stamens.

Then spray adhesive all over flower and 

dip into white glitter.

Die cut the smallest Scallop oval from white cardstock

it is the perfect fit for the oval cabochons.

To make the perky butterfly.

Roughly cut out a butterfly.

Adhere to a scrap of white cardstock.

Then fussy cut butterfly.

Ink edges with Victorian Velvet distress ink.

Smear over Dimensional magic

and sprinkle with a little (not a lot ) of 

white glitter.

When dry adhere to top of box with strong

glue along the body only

leaving the wings free to be 

folded upwards.

Decorate the circular frame around the 

elegant lady with Couture Creations 3mm pearls.

Use a piercing tool to remove from acetate

sheet, and adhere to paper with a little

dot of extra glue for a long term secure bond.

Trim out the Magnolia label.

Cover with Dimensional magic and 

sprinkle with a little (not a lot) white glitter for a soft sparkly look

Make cards with the left over papers, 

Place them all in the box 

Tie up with a tie dyed ribbon

To make a wonderful gift for a non crafty person
