Comments close at midnight on Friday, May 2, 2014 and a random winner will be announced on Saturday, May 3rd at noon.

This month I decided to make a little gift box for a friend. I used the Decorative Flower Pot die and cut a front and a back and used a strip of cardstock to make the box. I stamped and cut the flowers from the Sunkissed Fleur stamp and die collection. I used a variety of Distress Paints, Glimmer Mist and Silks Acrylic paints to color the flowers. The centers were done with a pearl pen and I edged the petals with Diamond Stickles.

I also stamped the leaf pattern onto the tissue paper to tie everything together. I stamped and cut the sentiment using the included tag dies.

This box could hold some candy or nuts or even a small hand lotion. It's also perfect for a couple of seed packets for Mother's Day.

Don't forget to leave a comment here and on the other designers' blogs in order to be eligible for the $25 Heartfelt Creations gift certificate. Once again, you have until midnight Friday, May 2, 2014. You're next stop is Glenda's Blog. You're going to love what she created!
