I was in need of a gift box. Earrings a small, so I figured the gift box should be much larger than the gift itself. I took my color cues from Color Hues current challnge - pink and silver just felt very apt for this gift.
I started with a pink gelli print. It was made with acrylics and TH fir tree stencil, it seemed very apt for a Christmas gift.
I also used a mirrored silver card stock for the flower detail on the front and added a silver sparkle and a white die cut leaf to soften it up.
I also adhered a piece of pink tissue paper to a rectangular piece of silver card stock which sits on the bottom of the box. The tissue is wrapped around the bottom part and so it stays always in place. The tissue is longer than the package itself, so it wraps over the gift.
Lastly I attached a length of silver twine as a closure.
Thank you for your visit!
