I hope that this past holiday weekend, gave you a chance to spend time with family, friends, and honor those who have fought for your freedom. I have many armed service members in my family. Every generation has served their time, and given for their country.
This past Saturday, I showed you a card that I made utilizing a fabric blossom that I learned how to create. The card that I showed on Saturday, was an abbreviated version of the first fabric blossom that I created using a tutorial found here @ Katies Rose Cottage.
This original fabric blossom measures about 4" inches across. I tea dyed some white muslin, a pink crochet trim, and added a scrap piece of white tulle. I hot glued a rhinestone to the center of this tattered rose.
When I first made this, I thought how pretty, feminine, and vintage looking. So, I altered a paper macho box and added this gorgeous fabric blossom to the lid.
I altered the lid by heat embossed some vintage white embossing powder using a detailed doily stamp. I added some crochet trim around the lid, and I adhered some beautiful pattern paper from Prima Marketing.
When I created this altered paper macho box, I didn't anyone in mind for it. I just thought it was pretty, and so it sits on my shelf, waiting for a new home.
Thank you for stopping by. I hope that you have a chance to 'play' and try a new technique. You'll be amazed how intoxicating it can be. Until next time, keep crafting!
