Da Da! my little secret stash of Ferrero Rocher! Scrumptious. Mind you I will share them with my photographer! That's because he bought them LOL!
I covered the base of the box with a border of Graphic 45 Le Cirque paper (I did have to keep topping up the anaesthetic to use this gorgeous stuff) then used the spotty paper (same collection) for the lid. The little sentiments were also on the same page as the border. I went round the edge of the lid with some Black Soot DI and I painted my cardboard heart with the Eco Friendly Metallic paint and added some Mica Flakes and circles (also painted) then popped some Watch parts on top.l I added it to the lid but put a small piece of foam underneath to make it stand up at an angle to the lid. The smaller flowers were then glued on and I added some press studs to the centres - I found these when I cleared the corner!!
This is the second thing I have really liked so am I turning a corner I wonder??

I hope you like this one, must admit that since the photograph was taken several hours ago, the choccies have diminished somewhat. I really enjoyed making this and have promised hubster that now I have finished it, I will sort out my cupboard and move the stuff from the bedroom floor!!!! He is especially sick of stubbing his toe!
