Instructions: Box dimensions are 2 3/4" X 2 1/2" X 3 3/4" Tall. Follow the instructions for making the box using this tutorial on YouTube. Once you have the box lying flat decorate the panels before you glue together. I cut the front and back panels and stamped the images using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I then used Memento Ink and the Dove Blender Pen to color. I also stamped the sentiment in Tuxedo Black. Now glue the panels front, back and sides onto the box form as well as the top panel of the box.
Next I stamped the flowers and doves on watercolor paper. I embossed the flower petals and then cut out the doves and flowers. Next color the doves and flowers. Now stamp the leaves onto a piece of the paper collection. Cut them out as well as the flower centers. Shape the flowers and leaves and then add the centers and set aside to dry. I also took the Lettuce Entertain You Prills and rubbed them over the Guacamole ink pad to give just a shade darker color and add this to the centers of the flowers. Set aside to dry. Now assemble the box. Shape the doves and add glitter and let them dry. Once dry, add dimensional tape to the doves and add some of the flowers and leaves to the side panels of the box. Next I decided where I wanted the flowers and leaves on the top panel of the box and glued them down. I took the 1" hole punch and cut a half moon out for a finger hold on the front panel of the box.
