Modern Surrealist Favorite "Cake" on the Sizzix Blog Hop!!!

Welcome to the 4th installment of the Sizzix ScoreBoards Blog Hop featuring the NEW cutting dies designed by Eileen Hull! This weeks challenge for designers was to create their "Favorite Cake" by incorporating a "few of their favorite things" into a project featuring Elieen's new Cake Scoreboard Die for Sizzix! So naturally I came up with this "chocolatey, blingy, leopard and fluffy pink boa" theme gift box that would make a delicious addition to any boudior!

It's so easy to do! Here's all you need to complete the project:

Eileen Hull's NEW Sizzix Cake Die for Sizzix - Leopard Faux Fur Trim - Hot Pink Feather Boa Trim - Ad Tech Hot Glue - Classic Mod Podge Gloss Lustre - Marvy Uchida Puffy Velvet Marker in Fluorescent Pink - Viva Decor Pearl Pen in Bronze - Glittery Fuschia Tulle - Acrylic Gem - Art Glitter Fantasy Film - Wire Twist Tie (to secure gem inside box)

Now get hopping by clicking from blog to blog to see all that can be done with this die! Afterwards enter to win one of these fabulous cutting dies by leaving a comment here AND on Eileen's blog!

This looks good enough to eat. At first glance, I thought you had actually frosted the top. Of course, I just crawled out of bed and have had no breakfast!

Marisa- love this! It's you! I am trying to figure out how you made the lid? It looks like mesh or screening but can't tell... Great prints and colors- what a cool box. Thanks!
