Another box, this one for my mum

As lots of you know, my mum is celebrating a big-ish birthday next week. I have made a box to house her pressies in. I bought her a china figurine from a range that she collects and made a little cross stitch trinket pot and popped in a sixpence from the year she was born. I have also made up a box of my cards. I am also planning an afternoon tea with my lot, my mum and dad and my brother and his partner. I am going to be busy this coming week planning what to bake and even going to try making some jam!

Anyway, back to the box ;-)

The box itself is the largest of a set of 3 bare boxes from Papermania. I have painted it with the most gorgeous of blues acrylic paint. It took 3 coats to get a nice even finish. I then decorated the lid with beautiful floral paper and a gorgeous Tilda. I finished the box lid with a piece of the most beautiful lace ever that was given to me by my lovely friend Jennie x
