Lets Spring into Something Fresh

___________________________________________________________

This is the 2nd post of the day.  If you're looking for the FB challenge, see the previous post for today.  But since you're here, join in the Hop fun.

Well it's finally here.  The February Release/Hop at Sassy Studio Designs.

It's been a while since we've had a Release/Hop.  This time the theme is "Spring / Fresh".  And the challenge is "Anything But a Card". The Design Team has come up with some great projects.  Some of the images showcased are "re-releases (and updates)" of past images.  And there are some new images Lindsay has created.  All of them are amazing.
I am honored to be the first site in this Hop.  So if you didn't come here from the SSD site, you only have to go back 1 site to be at the beginning.
Now that you are here, let me show you what I created. Since it's "Anything But a Card", and what is "Fresher" than the smell of Lavender, I constructed a box to hold 3 Lavender Sachets.

The image I was given to work with is the "Clover" image.  As you can see, it doesn't have to be just for St Patrick's Day.

Hair-E31, E34, E25

Hat/outfit/shoes-YG03, YG06, V12, V15, Y23, Y26, W1, YG61, YG63

DP-Wild Asparagus by My Minds Eye

Cardstock-Butterfly Wings pack by Recollections

Foam Core-3/16 white by Elmer's

Felt-Classic felt in lavender

Ribbon-Offray Spool 'O' Ribbon 1/4" green

Acetate-for window opening

Diecut-Glitter diecuts by K&Company gold

Lavender sachets-3 pack from Michaels 

The box is 5" wide x 7 1/4" high x 1 3/4" deep.  I popped up the "Clover" image on homemade lavender foam squares.  The ribbon was added to make it easier to get the sachets out of the box.

This was a fun project.  I like making boxes to store things in out of Foam core. I've made boxes for my Dew Drop and studio g ink pads, my Adirondack ink and Stickles bottles and my Copics, just to name a few.
