Spring!

Here is a window box I did on Monday. I found these tins at the Target Dollar Spot and the idea came to me so of course I had to buy a few to take home and try it out.

I used a styrofoam block with green craft ink on it (could not find green foam that day!) and lollipop sticks wrapped with flower tape. The rest are all Stanpin' UP! materials and a Sizzix die you can purchase through Stampin' Up!
I used Baja Breeze Textured card stock, So Saffron - which is embossed with a Stampin' Up! Background Texture Plate for the Big Shot, Pretty in Pink, Flower Fusion Too felt flowers, Courduroy Buttons in Baja Breeze and Summer Sun, Soft Subtles brads, Fifth Avenue Floral Stamp Set. The edges of some of the flowers are sponged too. It looks so much better in real life! The paper curls are SU paper too - Walk in the Park Designer Series Paper from the Ocassions Mini Catalog. Oh and not to leave out the So Saffron grosgrain ribbon the tin! I used my crop-a-dile to punch the holes in the tin for the brads/flowers (which is like punching butter!).
I hope you like my spring flower box!
