Exploding Box - Buttercups & Daisies

This box was a little bit of playtime for me. It's the only one that I managed to take photographs of during the 'design/making process' - I'll be doing more of this in future.

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'

I never glue anything down until I've played with the positioning of all the elements I'm going to use. Once I'm happy it's glue time!
