DT: Stamptacular Sunday Challenge

Here we are with a brand new challenge at Stamptacular Sunday, we can’t wait to see what you create this week!

The challenge for this week is…

“FREEBIE WEEK!”

this week's fabulous prizes are donated by:

AND

Bugaboo

prize: winner's choice of 7 digis 

For my project, I decided to make this tag.  I cut the tag out using Tim Holtz, Tag & Bookplates.  The backing is the packing cardboard from an EK Success border punch.  It's sturdy enough to adhere even the heaviest of embellishments.  The two big flowers I paper pieced and inked around the edge with Copics marker.  Then layered them with foam tape.  Since the butterflies would blend with the background, I colored the edge with Copics as well.  I added Stickles to the sprigs and to the orange flower I had stamped with distress ink.  And to finish off the tag, I handmade the charm to coordinate with the color combo.

Supplies~

Altered Box & Mini Album

This is an altered box and a mini album I created.  The box is by Petaloo and as you can see it's very bright.  I painted the box with black paint...needed a couple of layers to completely cover the bright pink.

After painting the box, I used Shimmerz mist to give it a distress look.  Then added some trim around the box and adhered a picture frame I altered on top. To keep the box closed, I fastened a black rubber band and a hitch post.  The paper roses were glimmer misted and added some glossy accent to look like dew drops.  I love how flowers look when they're wet.  And finally, I glued wooden knobs to the bottom of the box.

And here's the finished box:
