That's what someone commented about the box I've made for this challenge at LIIU...;)
We are now on fortnightly challenges and the new theme is die cuts/punches (but remember, the main feature of your project should be the stamping).

Now back to my box.... Well, actually, this box is for my Mum, so it's really hers... but since she doesn't know this yet - shhh, don't tell her! lol ;)
The box was first painted with acrylic paints, stamped with Aspects of Design Fancy Flourishes and then generously sprayed with gold cosmic shimmer mist. For the flower arrangement I cut some grunge paper leaves and tiny flowers using Tim Holtz dies, embossed with texture fades and coloured with DI.
The tiles on the side were first stamped and clear embossed with Tim Holtz text stamp, coloured, stamped with Aspects of Design Queen Ann's Lace Squares and embossed in copper. Using a paper stump I "puffed" them up a bit to add dimension. I also added a handful of tiny little punched butterflies (especially for Sue, I had to make sure I have lots of flowers and butterflies lol ;). I've seen some first butterflies this week, spring is definately coming! ;).
Don't forget to see what my lovely DT Sisters have created and... enjoy this lovely sunny weekend (if it's not sunny where you are, come over to mine!) lol ;)). Thanks for popping in and your lovely comments!
Lots of hugs!
