Pick A Posey

Hello My  "Classy Friends"

Diane here with you today with my project for "Classy Cards 'n Such"

challenge this week, which is "Pick A Posey"

I decided to "think outside the box" so to speak and alter a cheese box for my project.

I had a "laughing cow" cheese box on hand and I find these to be the perfect boxes to alter.

                              I started with my Graphic 45 Botanical Tea papers....

these are the most beautiful papers to work with.....

After my box was covered 

I used a Spellbinders Exquisite Circles die for my center doily....

My flower was made using a Susan's Garden Clematis die.... 

if you have never used one of these dies, 

I have to say this line of dies is very, very easy to use and look "life like" when finished!

I colored my flower with PanPastels Flower Coloring Kit by Susan's Gardens

using the Magenta color and applied it with Soft Covers Point Applicators.

To shape my flowers I used Paper Blossoms Tool Kit 
and Paper Blossoms Craft Molding Mat.

I have a new Clematis this year  called "Nellie Moser" which I bought for the name alone

as my dogs name is "Nellie" and though I don't have a picture of it

I can say it very much looks the color of this one.... 

but I do have a picture of a variety of my Clematis I want to share with you!!

To finish my box, I die cut 3 Butterflies from the Joy! Crafts Butterfly Trio dies.....

I used a bit of cloth covered floral wire and mounted a butterfly "spiral" on my box.....

I added Pink Pearls to the butterfly....

the other 2 butterflies were added to "flutter" around the box using Joy! Craft Foam Pads Small

This will be the perfect little gift box to hold some small "trinkets"!!
