Fred She Said April Challenge Purple Gift Box

Hi all, back with this months Fred She Said Challenge - A 3D gift for a loved one.  So here is my project to get you inspired, another of my little altered soap boxes, with a different look than the last.  This box is in beautiful shades of purple and I thought it would be perfect to show off the Fred She Said Lovely Blossoms Decoupage set. The full sheet of pre-colored flowers and leaves were printed out on vellum for an airy and vintage feel and is also similar to parchment craft.

First I outlined the flowers and leaves with my gold gel pen to give them an embossed look.  Then I layered two and three different sizes of the purple blossoms together after shaping them on a foam matt.  Next I added some light purple glitter to the petals and crystals for the centers.  The smaller white blossoms were left as a single layer and have dew drops as their centers. 

I am showing the same view of the box because my camera is skewing the colors a bit and this one is the closest to the true colors.  Again all I had to do to cover up any writing on the boxes was to just cut some card stock panels for the top, bottom and inside of the box lid.  Ribbon and die cut accents finish off this gift box that is a gift in itself.  Using the Fred She Said digi flowers made it quick and easy!

Now hop on over to the Fred She Said Challenge Blog to see what the other DT members have created for your inspiration! Now for the CHALLENGE details:
