1

Paint the box with a couple of coats of purple acrylic paint and allow it to dry. Use the lid of the box as a template to cut a circle of pearlescent cardstock.

2

Stamp and heat-emboss the bird motif in the centre of the circle from Step 1, and the flowers overlapping the edge. Colour the bird motif as shown and adhere the panel to the lid.

3

Stamp and heat-emboss a long panel of the rose trio motif. Colour the roses and cut around the border, then stick it around the base of the box.

4

Affix strips of the curling ribbon around the box and lid as shown. Apply small dots of the Beads in a Bottle paint between the rose trio motifs and larger dots around the edge of the box lid to finish.
