December Elemental Inspiration Challenge

 

 

 Hello

 

Welcome to my little crafting place! 

I've made a box this time for the latest Daring Cardmakers Challenge.

Ots a [icture challenge this time and I just adore this picture!

 

 Jolly Crafty Christmas Time 2023

Ot's the first day (and the first Friday) of December, so as always on the first Friday of the month it's a picture prompt
December Elemental Inspiration Challenge
What to make? 

Anything Goes - Christmas themed or not
Just choose a minimum of 3 elements from this fabulous Home Decor picture 

to use when you make your project.
Remember that if you choose to use the colour scheme then that counts

 as one element

See what the team made HERE 

I chose the blue and gold colours from the picture, plus the big gold 3D star and the greenery as my elements

To add a bit of extra structure to the box I cut an extra piece to glue to the top. Next I cut a length of matte gold card; measured and punched holes for the fastening.  This was made with two lengths of blue waxed cord and one of thick gold thread, which were plaited together and knotted at the ends. The gold band was adhered in place around the box, I threaded the tie through the holes before adhering the band to the box

 

To decorate I made a 3D star, then tucked pieces of die cut greenery (some sprigs in white and gold too) under the star.  To complete I used some large red pearls for berries and added a few tiny gold stars

 

My box was made from a lovely deep blue Bazzill card using an old Spellbinders ide set.  Unfortunately its a set that's not available any more so I can't direct you to it in the shop, sorry
