Through The Purple Haze Challenges #2

Good morning everyone & welcome to our second challenge at 

Through The Purple Haze Challenges

Let me start off by saying thank you to everyone who joined us for our first challenge, everyone's entry was fabulous & congrats to all the winners.

So, on to this week's challenge, which we ourselves are sponsoring & we have a mystery prize up for grabs, oh I do love surprises 

Our theme this week is:

ANYTHING WITH FLOWERS

I love making flowers so this theme was right up my alley :)

& here are my makes

At the same time as finding out about the challenge I was asked to 

make some boxes to give to a hen on her hen weekend. They were to hold

a something old, something new, something borrowed & something blue.

So I decided to do some boxes that would stack & look like a cake.

I made four boxes, the largest being 6"x6"x3" & the smallest being 3"x3"x3"

I made the boxes themselves from cake box board, I love using this as I buy it in A2 & can cut it down, it means I can make boxes bigger than I used to be able to.

I covered each piece of card in Antique Linen distress ink & then stamped around what would be the box lids in Vintage Photo. The bases were stamped using Vintage Photo too but I used the 2nd generation technique.

Once I'd put the boxes together it was time to make all those pretty flowers.

I used Marianne dies & Tim Holtz dies for all the flowers & foliage

I inked some, added glitter to others & gems to some.

I then simply stacked the boxes & glued the flowers on once I was happy with how they looked.

I hope you like my offering, thanks for popping by & I appreciate all of your comments.

By sure to stop by & see what all the other DT members have come up with, you won't be sorry :)

I love forward to seeing everyone's entries

Big Hugs
