Easter Treat Box

When I saw the current challenge to make an Easter/Spring gifts (but not a basket) at Frilly and Funkie the timing was perfect because I needed to work on some little gifts for my Grandchildren so I decided to play even if my mojo is still on vacation :)  This is for my 6 year-old Granddaughter and she won't be critical, especially since it contains some pink Easter straw and a whole bunch of Cadbury Mini Eggs like the ones in the photo.  I have also made a less vintage and more boyish version for my 4 year-old Grandson.

I created a little Milk carton box using a template from Images by Heather M.  Before I folded it, I inked it with some Wild Honey Distress Ink by Ranger and a Honeycomb Mask that my friend cut for me on her Cameo.  Then I did a little more inking with Worn Lipstick and Dusty Concord Distress Ink by Ranger.  The sides and back have some daisies inked on them with a stencil from Dollarama (you can't see them but trust me they are there).

I found the adorable image at Magic Moonlight Studio, mounted her on some Card Stock from my stash and placed her on top of a piece of a Wilton paper doily.  The little flowers were made using EK Paper Shaper Punches and the leaves were punched using a Martha Stewart frond punch.  Everything was distressed with a little Pumice Stone Distress Ink by Ranger and Recollection pearl stickers were added to the flower centres.  I printed a couple of the birds from the image and added them along with some pink seam binding and a little button from my stash.

I am going to enter this project in the following challenges:

Sorry to be so late in getting over to say Hi and compliment your work, but I'm thrilled to have you joining in the fun with us at Frilly and Funkie!

    Hugs,
