Ready for More Mess?

I'm back today to remind you about the current challenge we have running over at the Unstampabelles this month.  As always, our challenge to you is to make a project using no stamps...no digis, no rubbers, cling mount, etc....and our twist this month is to journal your "mess" of creating along the way.  

Now, we are half way through our challenge and I have another little peek for you of a project that once again was created out of a mess.  Unfortunately I forgot to take pics along the way as this was quite a bit more involved than the last project, which you can see here

Here goes...


For a first attempt at the box and the flowers as well, I thought it came out pretty nicely...although a little more practice would make things look even nicer!  LOL

Those roses, a purchase from the Silhouette Online Store, came in many, many pieces and needed to be glued together.  Once again with that awful Tombow glue I dislike...my fingers were just an awful mess by the time this was completed.  The heart box template was a purchase from SVG Cuts.  It is assembled from quite a few pieces and what I love about SVG Cuts is that they most often have a video showing you the assembly process.  It takes the guess work and frustration out of the project.  Of course the designer paper has been inked with a brown color to give the box an aged feel.  The rose petals and my fingers have also all been inked with the same brown.  LOL

Now I challenge you to get busy in your craft space and "make a mess".  Then link up your messy journey with us at The Unstampabelles...but don't be forgetful like me this time...take your photos along the way!

Until next time...

This is a gorgeous box, love the roses and the way it went together. I too have made those roses and know how many pieces they come in but I find hot glue works well with making them as it dries quick. Thanks for sharing with us this month at Natalie & Amy's Challenge.
