Focus on paper ....

The challenge to the DT and Guests for this challenge was 'focus on paper' so ....

I decorated a plain papier mache box with 3 sheets of digital paper from the Polkadoodles Winnie Winterland collection. (Paper Heaven 4) and Paper Heaven 5. 

I used two sheets for the sides, edge of lid and top of box and with the third sheet  I made 3 flowers from the red/poinsettia sections of paper and some ivy and rose leaves from the green sections of paper

To augment the paper flowers I added some small burgundy medium rose buds, and some tiny pearl clusters on silver stems. To finish the box I added Donna ivory fine cotton lace, khaki sage  15mm satin ribbon, diamante double row round embellishment, pearls for the feet and edges of the lid etc. The centres of the flowers are 8mm sparkly f/b gems which I have coloured with a Copic pen

I hope you will join in with the Polkadoodles Craft Challenge and I'm looking forward to seeing what you make! 

thanks for looking,

see you soon
