Wedding Post Box

I received a request to decorate a box for a Wedding at the end of the month.

I started with a plain ivory/cream box with a post slit in the lid.

I cut 12 swirls in gold mirror card using Sizzix Decorative strip die - Swirly. Theses were attached to the box so that they gradually worked their way up to the lid, this part was a bit time consuming to get both the spacing correct and also to glue on, especially when going round corners. The Swirl was continue onto the lid so a swirl went across two corners of the lid.

I cut 15 of the Sizzix Original die - Flower Daises #2. The largest flower was cut out of pink card, the medium flower cut from ivory card and the smallest flower was cut in both white and pink vellum.
The four flowers were all glued together at the centre and a ivory circle attached to hide the holes in the middle and the glue. A Candi pink faux brad was attached in the middle of each flower on 3d foam.

A special message was printed on to ivory card and mat and layered onto pink and gold card. This was fixed to the front of the box. A bride topper was fixed to the message. The flowers were attached, 3 on each side of the box.

The slit on the lid was also defined by matting ivory, pink and gold card and creating the slit in the centre, 2 further flowers where attached to the lid for added detail.

A similar box I decorated for another Wedding previously with a different colour scheme.
