When we returned home from Disney yesterday, our son told me that our housekeeper needed another gift box so I made this one for her today. I mean I really made it for her and then she can re-gift it!
My inspiration came from What Will You Stamp #147 - Beachy Little Christmas
I also am choosing to enter it in the Tic Tac Toe #028 Challenge by Claire Broadwater. I chose the line straight across the top...turquoise, holiday and sequins.
I cut a mat 3 3/8" x 3 3/8" of DSP from Quilted Christmas. I stamped the tree in Versa Mark on a 3 1/4" x 3 1/4" piece of Whisper White and heat embossed it in gold. I colored the decorations on the tree with Tempting Turquoise, Wild Wasabi, Real Red, Crushed Curry and Pink Pirouette markers. The pail dots were done in Marina Mist. The shells were stamped with Versa Mark and heat embossed in copper. The sentiment was also heat embossed with red glitter embossing powder. I added sequins from the Frosted collection, which are retired. Unfortunately, the iPhone camera does not do the tree justice.
I will be putting a check inside the box and to make it prettier, I will put this on top of it...
The beach house and palm trees are leaning because of Irma! I used watercolor pencils and a blender pen to color them. I used High Tide stamps for the beach, greenery and ocean. The sky is just scribbled in with a Pacific Point watercolor pencil.
I love these stamp sets and hope you like my decorated mini pizza box.
Thanks for looking!
