A template challenge


I did it again!
I left a piece of card in the printer and when I wanted to print a piece of backing paper, I printed the card instead.
This piece has sat in the drawer waiting for a challenge which would require a piece of patterned card and Just Us Girls gave me the opportunity today!
The challenge is to use a template and I chose to make this Trapezoid Box.
The digi paper is from Cuddly Buddly and I had a perfectly matching piece of plain card to make the flowers with my Snellen Punch and emboss duo.
The leaves are from a Leonie Em punch.
I decided to add the dragonfly charm onto the organza ribbon to give a little added pizzaz and with its addition, the project became eligible for the Alphabet challenge of D - for Dragonfly.

It's a pretty little box isn't it, the pattern and colour are so delicate. The paper is called Fairy Fun and the shade is Willow.
A couple of splat centres and some adhesive pearls complete the flowers.
