Oh My Gosh Is It Sunday?

Morning all!
Just stopped by to share with you my DT make for The Crafty Pad Challenges this Week!
Shame you didn't seem to like the 123 Recipe Challenge last week but you should find this one a lot easier!
This weeks Challenge #124 is Stripes! We want to see what "you" can do with stripes!
This week we are kindly sponsored by Letraset who are offering a fab set of 5 Promarkers!


A girl can never have  enough Promarkers right?
Here's my project!


It's a Tie Shaped Gift Box! I saw this on a friends blog &just  had to make one!
With Fathers Day looming, I'm sure many of you will also be thinking about what to make for your Dad!
To make this little box,I used the fab Rosette from Deborah Moore's 


Debbie did a great tutorial here, on how to make a ribbon rosette, so I had a go at that too! 
I don't have a hot glue gun so I did my best with high adhesion double sided tape.
It's far from perfect, I think that's because I used the tape, but I know my Dad will love it anyway! lol
As Debbie suggested, I attached a safety pin to the back & attached the rosette to the box with low tack tape. I'll be making sure my dad wears his rosette with pride on Father's day! (Tee hee)


Here's the rosette without the ribbon rosette on top!


I coloured the rosette with  promarkers you cant really see it in the pics but I used a darker shade on the shadowed parts of the rosette!


The striped paper I used was from the Two Peas In A set & I printed it straight onto heavy cardstock.
Now, who say's you can't add bling to a man's card/pressie? 
I made a "tie pin" using a silver peel off border strip & added a few gems!


Inside the box is empty for now but shhhhh, I'm going to add a Toblerone 
(One of my Dad's favourite's) & a voucher for afternoon tea for two at a nice venue!
You can find the template & the fab tutorial for the Tie Shaped Gift Box here.

And now you are making me want chocolate, too....all I had to read was "toblerone" and I started salivating... Oh, yeah, Thanks for playing along with us at Guylou's Inimitability!
