Made for mag ink!


I entered this little ensemble for the Magnolia ink competition for their Magazine, as luck woul have it, i never got a mention, so i decided to share it with you here.
The box was made using the nesties hearts, MS heart border punch, and loads of other dreck that i have in my stash.  My thought for the box was that we like to give money or a cheque to people who are starting out on their married lives, so they have a little bit of money to get started, so the money/ cheque could be slipped in under the two rings on the inside of the box.  I didnt take a photo, but the little tag is one of those slider cards that i like to make so you could write something on there.
Then when i decided to use the love sealing Tilda i extended the was seal with real wax and pressed the hot was with a 7 gypisies seal that reads:  "accept no other"  which i thought was appropriate.
All the images were colored using copics and the paper is a mix of American crafts and MM.  The flowers all got a good going over with star dust stickles and then of course their had to be pearls all over the show.  hope you enjoy!
