Hello Friends!
I hope your new year is off to an amazing start!!
I've been keeping this exciting news under wraps for awhile now and today I get to tell you all about it!! There's a brand new, fun challenge starting up today that's all about FLOWERS and I've been invited to be on their design team!
It's called BEAUTIFUL BLOSSOMS!
This will be a monthly challenge which goes live on the 15th of each month!
And, as I stated, the main focus will be FLOWERS. There will be a monthly
mood board provided but it's strictly for inspiration!
Here's our January mood board ... again ... Inspiration Only, your project does not have to follow the board but it's a wonderful 'starting' point . . .
I was drawn to the blue & brown color combination and here's what I've created for you today. I was in need of a quick gift for a friend and with the cold/flu season in full swing, I thought maybe this pretty tissue box cover would help her through the season.
I have had this 12x12 sheet of designer paper in my stash for YEARS and it was exactly what I was looking for today. The flowers are Heartfelt Creations that I've had die cut (also for years) that were stamped using brown ink vs black ... perfect!
I've stacked a few sizes of the same flower for the front panel but then just used individual flowers (various sizes) for the top of my box. A couple different colors of Nuvo drops were added around the opening and the flower centers.
I do hope you'll come check out this new challenge blog and play along!
This challenge will run from January 15th through February 12th.

This is such a fantastic project and a practical one too. I have 2 tissue boxes that are begging to be covered up so thanks for the inspiration and for a wonderful team project for our 1st challenge at Beautiful Blossoms!

Absolutely gorgeous and creative. a gift your friend will treasure for sure!!
ReplyDeleteThis turned out so beautifully and the paper you used was a perfect choice for it! I made one of these some years ago but then it no longer fit my room décor so I removed it. Maybe I'll make another one!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing with us at Allsorts challenge! Oh, and congrats on your new DT position at the Beautiful Blossoms challenge!
This thoughtful gift would brighten anyone's day. And, by the way, you must have an amazing stash!!! The blue/brown combo is stunning. Thank you for joining our Cut it Up Anything Goes challenge.
