Christmas Box

Well, I have had fun this afternoon making a box for "Joan's Gardens" Challenge blog. You can find the tutorial on the blog, but I follow Selma Stevenson's blog and it was Selma's tutorial that I used to make my box, and it was such fun to do and did not take me long at all. I used White Hammered card to make the box and matted and layered it with christmas backgound paper that I have had for ages, sorry ,but I cannot remember where it came from. I used white card again for the band and used a lovely red satin ribbon to add some colour. I made the embellishment with gold spellbinders dies, and some red gemstones. This was a fun challenge for me. Thanks for looking at my creation. Hugs Rita xxxx

Challenge:  Joan's Gardens.
