Sometimes an extra special touch on a gift can make a world of difference!
Designer Ingvild Bolme recently decorated a box of chocolates for a very special friend's 80th birthday. Just take a peek at the photos highlighting all of the exquisite details!
This design is out for publication!
Ingvild used Cavalier papers in a soft green and then stamped on them using Prima's Build-A-Frame stamps. The top is supremely decorated with a gorgeous selection of products.
Ingvild adds some Prima roses on top of the delicate lace. Each rose has a wired stem for ease of use.
The chocolate box top also has a wood handle made from nature! It fits in perfectly with Prima's Petit Fleur vines.
The IOD chipboard numbers are mounted inside a gorgeous Prima Maxi flower.
Each butterfly is created with a simple Prima butterfly stamp, from the Christina Renee stamp line, and a clear transparency! What a fantastic technique!
