Inky Impressions Treasure Box



Good morning to you! Can you believe it's Wednesday already? Time sure does fly when you're having fun! Well, today at the Inky Impressions challenge blog, the challenge is to use pink and hearts on your card/project. So I created a treasure box to give to one of my daughter's for Valentine's day. I didn't follow any template or pattern so it took a little while to make but I really like how it turned out. What do you think?



Here is a closeup of Angelica's Heart Socks:





I colored my image with Copics, my papers are from Stampin' Up and K&Co, I used a MS punch, pearls, Spellbinder dies, crocheted flowers, Zva Created and Prima flowers.

Here is a picture of the inside of the treasure box. The heart mirror is from my "stash."



I also thought I would enter this project at the following challenge blogs:

All Sorts - use pink and brown
One Stop Craft Challenge - to have/use fancy edges or corners
Stamp, Scrap, and Doodle Saturdays - girly
Raise The Bar - debut a new (never been used or opened item) on your card - I'm debuting my SU crocheted flowers and Zva Created flowers.

Please visit my Inky Impressions design team sisters (located on my side bar) to see their fabulous creations. You don't want to miss it! Now my dilemma is which daughter do I give this box too??? I think I will have to make another one. :0) Until next time....
