Now on to my project:
This is a box I altered using the New Release Blessed Easter stamp set form Our  Daily Bread Designs.  The image is stamped in Memento ink and water colored.  I then cut it out and adhered it to the Spellbinders Labels 13  and Lattice pendant dies.  The border around the box is created with a Lattice Border Punch by Martha Stewart.  The pearls, I felt, just added the extra elegance.  They are from Zva Creative.  The DP is Chatterbox Apple green vine.
Altered Box Recipe:
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs- Blessed Easter
Paper: Chatterbox, Gina K Pure Luxury White,
Accessories: Spellbinders Labels 13 and Lattice Pendant dies, MS Lattice border Punch, ZVA Creative Pearls, May Arts Ribbon

    ReplyDelete
  93. Dear Grace,

    This is really magnificent! What a beautiful, incredible box! The Lily of the Valley is just perfect! If I were trying to cut that out, I'm sure I would end up cutting half of the flowers off! I miss the northern flowers so very much! They seem to be a part of all good memories. I love every inch of it. The dp is so fabulous. I thought it was green velvet! I like the leaves on it. How did you do that? (If you don't mind.) The lattice work is stunning. I bet that took a while to do! I need to get one of those punches. (Mother's Day is soon.) The Scripture is so true! After all, ALL scripture is the truth. Right? Right! I think the pearls were a very elegant and precious touch to the box. I am crazy over the varigated ribbon, or are those paper leaves? How absolutely perfect!! I love how they are shaped. Just one question, I don't think anyone asked yet. What's going in it?

    He IS Able, and Easter is coming to remind us of that fact!!!!!!

  137. Hi Grace!

    I sent you a pretty long note about this precious box that you decorated. This is my blog-hop challenge comment! Still heart-felt, I assure you. I think this is just a very striking piece. I think the lattice and the way you colored the leaves on the Lily of the Valley are so eye-catcing! The entire flower is! This would be a beautiful keepsake for someone.
