This was my first try at drawing a box on my card, which I've wanted to do for a long, long time and I need to work on it a little to get it even. But, I do like the finished look it gives!
After I stamped the images, I added a little bit of depth to flowers by shading with my shimmer chalks. It's hard to tell in the photo but I added a little bit to each flower and to some of the leaves.
I'm pretty sure that I followed the rules to the challenge, but I think that if I didn't that Ted of all people would understand, as he has laughed at himself several times lately over being "challenge" challenged! LOL!! Thanks Ted for hosting this fun challenge!
Supplies (all PTI unless noted)
Stamps: Four of a Kind, Fillable Frames
Paper: Kraft
Ink: Raspberry Fizz, Ocean Tides & Summer Sunrise, Palette Landscape & Palette Bordeaux
Other: Shimmer Chalks, Black Pen

Oh I just love the stamping on Kraft...and the box...I still need to try that one out too. I'm going to have to start making a list of cards to case, techniques to try, etc. Lovely card!
Great job on Ted's challenge! Your box looks perfect and the colors are beautiful!
This is great! Love the depth the chalk adds!!! :)
Jen this is ab fab - you have used the special edition CHA PTI set to perfection (you are so lucky to have got that - I am so envious!) Nx
Jen this is so beautiful!!! I love that you gave the flowers so many different colors~~ PERFECT!!
Gorgeous card! I'm always a little scared to draw those straight lines too - everything is perfect here though! :)
Lovely Jen! I love the pops of color that the flowers bring and the pen box is a great touch.
So pretty, Jen! I've been wanting to try 'the box' too. The colors you chose for the flowers look great together!
so pretty....love these flowers stamped on kraft!
Jen, you followed the challenge to a T! :) I love this card and I have the hardest time with creating boxes like this. If this was your first time, I'm very jealous. Thanks for playing along with the HEC! :D
So pretty Laurie. Your hand drawn lines are perfect, I'm impressed.
Laurie? Good grief, I meant JEN! I don't know where my head is this morning, forgive me!
Your card using the CHA set is awesome....I think these flowers look soo nice stamped on kraft. I love how you added a sentiment in the middle of your "box"....that must have been hard.
Thank you for reminding me that I made a card for Ted's challenge...when I saw your card this morning, I thought I'd better get it posted! We even used the same layout with the box but just different stamps! :)
This is so pretty Jen, I really love the colorful flowers stamped on the Kraft!
