#204 Anything goes. Giftbox for chocolates.

Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!

Hi there, Riet here.
I made a gift box to fill with chocolates.
I love the LCD Pokey animals, and I enjoyed decorating the box with them.
What I used,

Distress oxide,
Twisted citron
Lucky clover
Cracked pistachio
Derwent inktense for the coloring
Black waterresistent inkpad
Stencil Craft emotions
We r makers, giftbox punch board

How to make this box.
Make a box on the punch board
or a score board.
I stained the paper with twisted citron and cracked pistachio.
I used an ink blender and lucky clover to transfer the stencil pattern.
Stamp the animals and butterfly on thin paper
 and color them in with pencil or markers.
Now take the smallest text stamp from the Pieces of calligraphy set. 
Stamp here and there with twisted citron.
Now we take the Brush strokes set and grab the stamp with the small dots.
Stamp a narrow strip of this in black.
Rotate the stamp in different directions.

To finish it off, stamp a butterfly, color it, and cut it out.
Fill the box and close it. 
Glue the butterfly to the top tab of the closure.

That's it for today, I hope you enjoyed it.
Please join the anything goes challenge, which runs until the end of the month. 
You have a chance to win stamps, which is really cool.
