Japanese Tilda VASE!!

Hello! Like many places we celebrate stafff birthdays at work. I have a treat to take tomorrow for one such birthday. I decided when we were in Wegman's on Saturday to get a tablecloth, plates and napkins to dress up the table. I didn't want to spend a fortune so bought a plain burgundy table cloth and plates but found some pretty Oriental floral napkins to go with them. I decided I could make a matching centerpiece! I colored up Japanese Tilda and placed her on one of the panels of the box I made from a pattern designed by my friend, Tracy (Inkydoodles). It holds an 8 ounce canning jar .

What you see is the result and I'm so pleased with it! I think the card stock is Rose Red (embossed with a CB folder). Then there is a layer of Blushing Bride on my Kraft box. I trimmed the edge with a pink border punch edge.

I went to the attic and dug out some cherry blossom stems that I put out in the spring. Not this year, 'cuz I cut off branches to stick in my vase! These pics show what the whole centerpiece looks like! Not bad for a little inspiration and a small amount of work!

One more pic, GOSH, she is CUTE!!

I'm doing this post Monday evening so I can get my treat ready in the morning! Hope you have a great Tuesday!
