Flower Box

I love the papier mache box section in Hobbycraft. I bought this box that looks like a book years ago and have only just got round to doing something with it.

I got inspiration after seeing this jewellery box on Almost Makes Perfect. I liked the simple flower image on a clean, white background.

I just googled 'pink flower' to find an image to paint from. I actually surprised myself with how well I painted this, as I used acrylic paint and I'm more confident painting detail with oils.

I finished it off by lining the inside of the box with this bright pink velvet.
