Box Design and construction details
- Panels
Sky - pale blue card chalked with blue.
Grass - lime green card, chalked, torn and cut.
- Bee Hive - stamped using a stamp I designed.
- I stamped the single image three times.
Roughly pencilled in where I wanted the tags.
Cut out.
Glued the tags together to dimension the hive.
- BeesFrom the same stamp set I stamped the bees onto acetate using Stazon Black ink.
Crystal glittered the wings.
Cut each bee out.
I stamped again onto lightweight card.
Using markers I then coloured the bodies.
Glittered the black with black holographic glitter.
Cut out the bodies.
Glued the bodies to the acetate bees.
- FlowersMade using a small daisy punch and a five petal flower punch.
The daisy is constructed from two punch-outs, layered together.
The small flower is dimensioned using the same technique as my earlier box 'Violets'
Thanks for visiting -
Honestly, I just staring at the screen taking in every bit of detail. It never ceases to amaze me. . .can you tell me what the dimensions are and where to score? As well as for the lid? I would certainly love to try one of these. Mine could never be as beautiful as yours, but I'd still love to try one. Thanks for sharing! Best, Curt
