Inspired by the challenge at the Lili of the Valley Ideas to Inspire Blog I have decorated a plain cardbord box using My Minds Eye paper, scallop edge white flat lace, 12mm red zig zag lace, 7mm scarlett berry ribbon and strips cut from 8-row faux diamante mesh. I used 3mm double sided tape which is just the thing for adhering ribbons and lace to the edges of boxes and lids. I really enjoyed decorating this box, it was a bit like icing a cake!
I'd love to be able to colour a LOTV image like this one, and take my hat off to Bev Rochester as it is one of the new LOTV Mini Masterpieces which were coloured by Bev prior to printing - gorgeous! All I had to add was a bit of Stardust Stickles. I used the largest image on the sheet and have plenty of smaller ones left for other projects.

Lace, Ribbon, Faux Diamante, Mini Ric Rac, Zig Zag Lace, 3mm double sided tape and Stardust Stickles are all from The Ribbon Girl online store
See you tomorrow with something fascinating ...

Wow! An absolutely gorgeous box! I might have to pop on over to LOTV to buy some of these pre-coloured images but I suspect what I make with mine won't be nearly as lovely as your creation! Hugs, Lesley
