Good evening eveyone and hope you are having a nice weekend. Today I am posting a project that I worked on for a few days. and it is a Valentine's Book Box. When I saw the candy book box tutorial over at the Scor-Pal's Blog HERE, I just love it and decided to try one. However, I wanted to do a smaller box, therefore, wth the same concept of that tutorial, I made mine an inch smaller. The handmade paper flowers you see on this box are made with the Magnolia Pattern Paper and the Cheery Lynn Cherry Blossom Die. The large flower has 2 large and 2 small petals. The small flower has 3 small petals. I sponged some distressing ink on each petals before layering them, then added a pearl in the centre. Please scroll down to the bottom of this post for the list of material for this project.
I am using the project for the follwoing challenges:

Here is my finished box. Since I was able to colored more Love Collection 2013 stamps from Magnolia-licious, I used a few for this project. On this box cover, I used Tilda with Heart Arrows
Here is a closer view of these handmade flowers. I love this Magnolia Paper and the Cheery Lynn Cherry Blossom Die. Very easy to make flowers.
