Chocolate Boxes Gets a Make Over

Hi and good morning my post is scheduled so fingers crossed it work. I will be travelling off to Wales so please prey for some nice weather Caravan and rain doesnt mix.

Well today means another challenge at CRAFTY CATZ and this week it is one of our extremely talented and beautiful GDT the lovely INGRID. If you havent visited her blog yet omg your missing out. what that girl can do with baby wipes and bits and bobs. So what has she for us this week.

RECYCLE IT

yes dont run for the hills as i nearly did. Have a peep around and see what you can do to change something. Dont forget ribbons off boxes. buttons off old clothing and jars about to go in the bin.

Need more inspiration checkout the teams creations.

Our sponsor for this week is 

Fred She Said with a fab voucher for our winner

so what have I recycled.

A box of yummy chocolates I got for christmas. i knew I kept it for a reason.

It is a nice good strong box and thought I could put some flowers in when I get round to making them.

So what did I do with it.

Coat of Burnt Umber paint followed by gold fine spray and time to decorate.

grab a cuppa wasnt sure which picture was best so you get all three

I have used dies from Memory Box, Sue Wilson leaves and classic rose (omg I had to cut each out on its own to get a clean cut ) & Spellbinders . Chain, gems and my love knot punch for the sides.

Took me ages to make the flowers and hope you like it.

Well as I said this scheduled so see you soon. 

Leave me a comment if you have time would love to hear what you think
