Polkadoodle Challenge 20 - Anything But A Card

Welcome to another Polkadoodle challenge! This week Fliss is our hostess and she has set the challenge of:

Anything But A Card

I had great fun making this milk cartoon gift box - I used the template from Paper Boutique Vol 1 at A4 size (uses two sheets of A4) and printed it onto papers from A Double Sprinkle of Kraft.

Both flowers have been made by using various sized Nesties, wetting the circles, scrunching them up then waiting for them to dry (best to leave overnight if you are impatient like me!) then layering them up with a brad in the centre.

The sentiment is a pre-coloured version from the Double Sprinkles of Kraft cd and I've added one of the border strip ribbons to the bottom and top of the box. A lot of the papers on the cd are kraft based so you get the lovely brown vintage feel throughout!

This is actually really quick and easy to make - all the instrictions for the milk carton are printed on the paper so you can see what you are doing as you go along!

Good luck with the challenge - it is open until Sunday 29 May at 12noon GMT.
