Inspiration

Well I am still not 100% fit yet and still feeling quite sickly, couldn't decide what I wanted to do, 
so decided to look through my Convention swaps.
  I came upon this little box of tea lights.


This inspired me to have a go at making one of these for myself.
Here's my take on it.


I simply used Real Red card to make a Pizza box, 
punched the top with the Decorative Label punch,
and added the ribbon with the Julie bow across the corner.
Behind the window I stuck a piece of the luxurious red flocked acetate 
from the Candlelight Christmas Speciality DSP.



To tidy up the inside of the lid, I cut a card square and punched out the frame
 then stuck it on the inside of the top.
Love it!
I can't give credit to the lady who swapped with me, as there is no name on the original box,
but I do thank her for the idea as I have so enjoyed making this.

I would like to enter this in
