I made this mailbox for my mom’s birthday yesterday/ Valentines present. I also had the newest Paper Shelter challenge in mind while making it. It took me about three days and I think I threw away more roses than what actually ended up on the box but it turned out pretty well.
I colored up this cute swinging girl from The Paper Shelter and hung her from a tree limb (a sizzix die) and more smaller rolled roses.
Here’s a close-up of my rolled roses and leaves:
I'm entering it in the following challenges:
