Hi there,
Well I think its nearly official that
my arm is falling off,
I'm still trying to work my way through
my friends Die collection
(you should see my floor on a night!!!)
But at least I know I won't have to do
much cutting for the next few months.
Bad thing is I keep coming across Dies
that I love and I want for my own,
think this is becoming very expensive lol...
Anyway here is my project this Week:-
The Theme at
Glitter n Sparkle is:-

Today I felt like making a Box,
so to begin with I chose 2 pieces of Card.
For the Base of the Box I used
8" x 8" Blue Linen Card
(stash).
And for the Top of the Box I used
8" x 8" 'Reeds' Linen Card
(Riverbank Revels - Helz Cuppleditch).
And using The Ultimate Crafter's Companion
I scored and folded the card using the 3rd rows
for the Box Lid and Base.
Then cut the corners so that
I could Glue them together.
Next I Die-Cut out a Square
using the largest 3 parts of the Square Lily (7pc)
(Nellie Snellen - MDF 029)
on Light Blue Paper
(stash).
Then I Die-Cut out the Image
so that it would fit inside the Blue Paper.

I coloured in my Image
using my Promarker Pens.
left over from making the Base of the Box,
in each of the corners of the Lid.
Then went around the edge of the Lid
and across the corners,
with White Peel Off Strips

I put a touch of glitter on the Image
to make the 'Bubbles' pop out
Ice Blue on the white part,
Royal Blue in the water
(Glitz it Sparkles Glitter Glue).
And to make the Water 'Bubble',
I used Seafoam White
Heat Embossing Powder
(Papermania)
I used Light Blue Flat-Back Mini Gems
in the centre of each 'Lily' on the Blue Paper.
And 2 Blue Plastic Roses
(stash)
for opposite corners of the Lid.
