Hearts, Flowers and Swirls

I really need to do a bit of catching up on blogging some of my recent Funky Hand makes, so  I thought I'd share this little box today.

I made this box from scratch, using a DieNamics Nesting Hearts die set and some Funky Hand designs printed directly onto card to make the whole process easier. Printing onto the card means you don't have to make the box and then faff about covering it with pretty paper, and you can print on both sides so the inside and outside of the box will look good.
This lovely Winter Wedding collection is such a pretty and useful set of designs with a gorgeous purple, mauve and blue colour palette.  I kept to the purple shades for this box

Here's a closer look at the top of the boxto show the rose, swirl and offset heart embellishment

This picture gives you an idea of the size of the box - well for fellow crafters it does!  For anyone else, these little ink pads are about 5cms tall.

It was the first time I've made this type of box and I learned that it would be a good idea to use more layers of the small inner base and lid size of hearts to give more stability to the finished box.
It was fun to make and even more fun to prettify.  I hope you like it,
