Pink By Design Team Friday!!!!

It's Friday!!!!! Today is Pink by Design Team Challenge and it was to make something for Mother's Day!
Here is what I came up with!

It's a 3x3 gift box with belly band.  I used CTMH solid paper and K&Company patterned paper (just one sheet of each).  I stamped the top and bottom of the box with the Pink by Design Damask background stamp in the matching ink color--I came off looking like a nice printed sheet of paper.
I cut strips of the K&Company patterned paper to line the sides of both the top and bottom of the box, inked the edges with the PTI Chai ink--love this stuff!!!!  Attached them with my ATG to the lid and base.
So for the sentiment I used a PTI die and border stamp and the Pink by Design Our Mothers stamp set.  I attached it to the belly band at the bottom and attached a layered shaped flower to the top.
I also inked the edges of this with Chi as well.  Now for some info about the flower!
So I used the Mother's Day Bouquet Cricut Seasonal Cartridge all four layers are the same shape---easy right!  Each layer is 1/4" smaller as you move towards the center.  I used the PTI chi and some Color Box Chalk ink in a pinkish red to ink the edges of each layer.  I folded and rolled each layer before building the flower.  I lightly (and I mean lightly) sprayed the layers with a litter water (hardly a mist) and shaped while wet--let it dry and you get some amazing results.  Once dry I layered each cut up and used secured them with an vintage floral brad.  I also roughed the edges before inking--sort of how a rose looks and feels--I really love the way it turned out.
Thanks for stopping by and make sure to head over the Sarah's blog The Pink Cricut to see all of the other projects made by this super talented design team!
