Seein' It Thru!

Happy Tuesday friends!  How are you all doing this week?  I'm hoping for a sunny day today...its been rainy for 2 days now and yes we needed it but I'm over it KWIM LOL!  I am nursing a few injuries so I'm gonna try and keep my chatter down a bit...gasp...yes I will try LOL!  We had a crazy weekend that is for sure so I will narrow it down for you picture by picture below...then my project is down below for you all as well!  It was a bit of a sports themed four days you could say...we had a blast but I'm still in recovery mode :)

We went to FedEx for a Redskins Draft party on Saturday...that's one of my fave Redskins Niles Paul, he fell on me at an earlier party I went to and stepped on my bare toe & knocked me down.  He sprained my widdle toe LOL...but he was so nice & tweeted me later to see how I was :)

Seein' It Through

This is my project for the current Magnolia-licious Tuesday Challenge...the theme is to use Vellum in a fun way.  Don't let vellum scare you...its easy to use and in many ways.  I decided to use my Silhouette Cameo to cut an intricate box for my cute "Princess Pea Tilda" to sit on...she's from the newest Once Upon a Time Collection at Magnolia-licious.  So the top of my box is vellum and it cut beautifully on my Cameo.  You can stamp on vellum, you can emboss it, die-cut it and more...so much fun to use and such a soft look!  So make sure to enter your projects HERE for a chance to win!

I also die cut my flowers and label from the vellum and added some Stickles to the vellum flowers.  I get my vellum from Paper Temptress...she has it in so many beautiful colors although I like the white the best!  The scroll like die cut is from a Memory Box die "Blooming Vine".  I added some layered Prima roses and vellum flowers around my sentiment...sentiment is from PTI.  Tilda was colored with Copics:  R22,R20,R11 / Colorless Blender / E35,E31,E50 / E11,E00 / C3,C1,C00.

The bottom of my box was cut from pink shimmery cs from Paper Temptress...cut easily on the Cameo and adds a bit of shine to the project.  Then I added some Magnolia paper around the lid and punched a border with a MS border punch from my vellum to wrap around the lid as well.  So this box can fit lots of fun little treasures or gift cards inside...perfect for your girly girl!
