Challenge Three- Garden Box by Christy
Posted: June 10th, 2011, 7:29 amHi Everyone!!!!!!!!
I was trying my best to think of something Spring/Father's day and decided on this. These make great little gifts. I have decided I am going to give this one to my nail lady whose home was flooded and she's just getting restarted. She loves her flowers and I thought this might be a nice gift for her. You can use it for whatever you'd like. It'd be great for someone who hasn't been feeling well or maybe someone whose day you'd just like to brighten.
All the files in this one were created by me including the box, which let me say I am soooooooo proud of myself for. It's the first time I"ve ever created one, and let me tell you if was no easy task. The first sample I got done, before I had even cut it I sent it to Rachell Ann to take a look at. She was quiet for a second and then said "sis where's your ends." Umm yea, I had forgotten to put the end's in the file. I was going to have an "endless" box I guess.
I was determined to do it myself though and refused to let Rach help me other than guiding me along and laughing so hard at me taking forever I think she about pee'd her pants. 
All that said though I can tell you it is great now and I am so impressed with myself, simple as the box may be. oh yes, and did I mention I had to buy flowers THREE Times before I finally got it all right so that I could finish it and get a picture before the flowers died?
Anyway, just thought I'd share that funny with you.Just a little off topic there.
My challenge: Create a Garden box and card set. Now you don't have to have real flowers to put in it Penny Duncan has some AMAZING paper flowers you could use.
Okay so here are all the free files:

Supplies used:
Mono yellow Bazzill pack
Brown Bazill CS
White CS
Pebbles Chalk
Tim Holtz inks
Embossing stylus
Black Sharpie
Brown Cardstock
Flowers
Stampin up Glossy Card
Olive Green Cardstock
Black Cardstock
Daisy D pattern paper (for the card)
Stamp of choice (for inside sentiment on card)
Okay I think that's it. I think it's all pretty self explanatory but I'll give you a few details that may not be. The stylus is used to run down the body of the butterfly in order to make the wings pop up (HUGE thanks to Penny Duncan for teaching me this technique), the chalks are for the sunflowers and the fence, the tim holtz inks for the butterflies (as is the glossy card) , and the Daisy D pattern paper I used as the card front base. If you have ANY other questions please feel free to let me know!!!!!!!!!!
