Good Morning, Afternoon, or Evening,
depending on where you are reading this!
I'm so glad you're able to stop by my little spot in blogland!
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas with family and friends!
It's hard to believe that it is over so quickly, isn't it!
Did you get any crafty items that you had on your wish list?
I hope there were a few Heartfelt Creations items under the tree for you!
Well, it's another Heartfelt Creations Wednesday, and this week I have some quick and easy packaging I want to share with you!
Are you familiar with the gift/jewelry boxes that you can purchase at your local dollar store.
They are usually white in color and are blank with no design...so you can decorate them in any way you wish!
Well, I just couldn't resist sprucing one up with the Floral Fashionista Collection!
...here's how it turned out...

I am so in love with how this came together!
If you've followed me for awhile, you know that I always feel bad when giving someone a gift card!
This totally makes me feel better about gifting someone a gift card!
I chose a background paper and matted it onto the box cover, trimming is just slightly smaller than the box. I then added a delicate lace like die cut to the top and bottom of the matting.
I actually used one of the pocket accent dies from the Decorative Pocket Accents die and trimmed it to fit!
For the coloring, I've used my Zig Color Clean Real Brush Markers and a watercolor brush. Watercoloring is perfect for this feminine collection as it gives it such a soft feel. In this creation, I chose to watercolor a little more darkly, as I wanted that corset to be a little more brightly colored.
The flowers I have stamped in Ranger Archival Ink - Magenta Hue and Majestic Violet, and have inked their petal tips in the same color after they have been die cut with the coordinating die.
Then, shaping was quick and EZ with the coordinating 3D Petite Florals Flower Shaping Mold!
...here's a closer look at this beautiful corset image and darling florals...
I hope I've inspired you today and that you've fallen in love with the Floral Fashionista Collection as I have! It's just so perfect for so many different occasions!
