Decorated Gift Box

My 3rd DT creation for By The Cute And Girly's June theme of 'In the garden' is a decorated gift box.

There are a lovely range of these Kraft coloured boxes at Paperchase just crying out to be decorated.  I've used Artemio stamps with a few little extras.  The sun has been masked and inked with Distress Inks.

With a bit of ribbon around the edge of the box it really didn't need anything more.  Although in the end I did add a few little touches with white pencil, I couldn't help myself.

Top tip ~ before decorating the box base put the lid on and mark in pencil how far down it comes on one of the edges.  I didn't do this on a smaller box I practiced on and the heads of the flowers were partly obscured, which I think didn't look as good.  picture of prototype box below.
