...KeEpSaKe BoX...

I made this box for a chaLLenge I saw asking you to use a TechNiQue you'd never done before...but now...I have NO idea where I was when I saw it :(

But...it did inspire this...


which I can link up to the AllSoRts ChaLLenge because it has a fLoWeR :)




I used UltRa ThiCk EmBoSsing EnaMel...is that right?...GoOd GoLLy...I shouldn't have been using it if I don't even know what it is!...UTEE ...ok...so...I am NOT a TeChniQue-Y gal....I am plain jane..NOT all ArTSy-faRtSy...

Things like this scare me...I tore pieces of old book print into tiny pieces, mod podged them onto cardstock...cover the whole thing with Versamark DaZZLe ( you can see in the top picture how it's a little sparkly) and then heat embossed the UTEE...and then did the inking and embossing part again....and again....and again...and then...because it still wasn't even (here is where that NOT being TecHniQue-Y thing was REALLY coming into play) I heat embossed it yet again...so there are like 5 coats on there...I thought FOR SURE it would do that cool crackle glass thing...ummmmm....no.  

EpiC FaiL!! 

But it's still kinda pretty and I did use my RoLLed fLowers die for the first time...and I like the chunky gLiTTer on the rose..it looks festive...I'm thinking that it'll be a good Christmas embeLlie :)

I'm also linking up to...
who's ChaLLenGe this week was something 3-D...got that! :)

and 

who's ChaLLenge was ...AnYthIng GoeS... :) you gotta love those!  and there is some really fun stuff on their blog! And HaPpy BirThDaY to them! They are 4 this week!  :)

Thanks for looking!
Have a HaPpY HuMp day!!!
