Coming tomorrow on Create and Craft TV at 7am UK time. The one day wonder from Amy Dodd - Country Garden


I added over 100 'leaf ' shapes to the dome in 2 colours with different finishes. I embossed the trunk to add texture and because doing this weakens the card stock I reinforced it by adding rolled up card stock of the same colour inside the tube of the trunk. I added liquid pearls to some of the centres. 



I added acetate to the inside of the box, before I did I got my scanncut to draw the pattern filling the design with one of the built in 'fill' options on my machine to add interest. I drew the pattern and only in filled the pattern area so that when you look inside the box it is nice and tidy . 


For this one I used flowers from my stash, adding bright lights to the trellis first then adding the roses. The battery box is sitting inside the gift box.


This original pattern is for a large ornamental strawberry but I put all pieces onto my mat grouped them resized them, ungrouped them , saved them then brought them back onto the mat as needed to cut out resulting in a key ring sized strawberry. to make it more durable I added a couple of layers of mat mod podge matt. 


I added acetate to the inside of the cut outs. cutting the intricate mats in a red glitter card makes this box stand out enough not to need any further embellishment in my opinion.
