2010 PTI Princess challenge #2

Lee hosted the most recent challenge for our blogging group, and she added a bonus challenge to base your 3D project design on what you were putting in it!
Granted, I'm slipping my submission in just under the line (it ends today!), but better late than never, right?

Well a coworker of mine has a bit of a cold and I felt so sorry for her coughing away yesterday, so last night I grabbed a handful of Ricola natural cough suppresents intending to bring them to her today. Then I got inspired! Why not package them up in a cute little shaker box?!



You can see that I based my box design on the yellow and green with herbs bag that the cough drops came in.

I used stamps from Life, some antique brads, Ranger distress ink, PTI Ripe Avocado ink, and PTI lemon tart CS and PP. Thanks for a fun challenge Lee!

That's awesome, I love it. Very pretty, decorate, extremely practical...a winner all the way around! What did your coworker think?

Mary Maruscak said...

That was supposed to say decorative. Sorry.

Melissa said...

Beautiful! I love how your box coordinates so well with the cough drops!

Was the shaker box difficult? I'm scared of the curves!

This is ingenious! Looking at them, it's hard to imagine that they're paper! Did Kim Hughes design these?
