DCBD challenge #10

I am sorry for missing last week’s challenge. I totally forgot to do it before I left for  Leadership. I hope this one makes up for it. This week’s challenge is a color one. We had to use these colors to make our project……

and here is what I came up with.

This is a project I am doing in all of my club’s this month.

This is the front view

and this is the side view….. my awesome friend Kimberly Van Diepen created the original design and gave me one as a gift at Leadership. I just loved it, but I wanted to change it just a little bit. Hers was a flat card design and I wanted mine to be more like a heart box of candy that you might receive for Valentine’s so I could fit more in it (I filled it with ghirardelli chocolates). To make it more 3 dimensional, I folded the side pieces in half to score them and glued the front piece to the back piece so that the side flaps actually wrap around the back a little bit.  It has 4 "humps" but you fold in 2 of them to create the bottom part of your box.   THen I stuck the brads in with the ribbon to make a handle. I used all of the colors in thechallenge…the ribbon is the vanilla color.This is made from the Big Shot petal card die.Don’t forget to check out the rest of the diva designers listed under the coffee cups in my sidebar. THanks for looking and please leave me a comment and let me know what you think.

   This looks wonderful! Love what you did with the challange. I met Kimberly several times at Leadership, but didn’t see you. You were probably with her and I didn’t recognize you!

   Very pretty. I love the softness of the brown flowers on the riding hood red.
