Another design team project for our current challenge over at DS4J's challenge blog. The theme for this fortnight is CIRCLES. I decided to upcycle an empty Five Roses Tea Box (only available in South Africa). Its a lovely little box to gift some home baked goodies in.
I have used the flower from the following set from DigiStamps4Joy:
The flower was printed on design paper and then fussy cut. The circle shapes behind the flower have been drawn with templates and then hand cut. The folded circle centre of the flower has been created with a scallop circle punch The folded corner embellishments have been drawn with a Doing Life template, cut out and then folded. Here is the tutorial for them. The bling and design papers are from my stash. The sentiment is from CREATE WITH TLC.
Looking forward to seeing your 'CIRCLE' creations. So hop on over to DS4J's challenge blog and link your Creations to Challenge #99.
