Vintage Garden Gift Box

I received some chocolates this Christmas inside an oval box.  I knew instantly that I wanted to alter the box once I had finished the chocolates!  This is the result of my alterations using the gorgeous stamps from the Vintage Garden.

I made a "Toile du jouy" style paper by stamping the flower stamp repeatedly onto beige paper with Victorian Velvet Distress Ink.  I also used the small grunge stamp from the Grunge Collection around the edges stamped in the same colour.

To complete my paper I stamped the Carte Postale stamp from Vintage Garden in grey.

I left the box lid as it was as I liked the strong contrast of the black and added the flowers from Vintage Garden to the top.  I have coloured the image with Copic markers and added some touches of white with a gel pen.  Some pearl string, lace, and a butterfly charm completes the lid.

I then set about adding a bouquet of pastel coloured flowers to the front and side of the gift box.

Here you can see the gift box on display in my home.

Now I am not sure I can part with it!
