The box is recycled, it came with some beads in and was plain black so I stamped it with an elusive images background stamp using versamark and brushed cosmic shimmer golden pear over the top. I printed Rosie out onto pearlescent card and coloured her with promarkers and attached her to the card with silicone for a bit of dimension. I added red grosgrain ribbon around the box with a couple of little bows.
Here's a pic of the open box with the beaded pin.Its made using size 6 red seed beads and size 11 black seed beads and is stitched in brick stitch. I made one when I first started beading classes and MIL liked it so I thought I'd make one for her.
I'm entering this into the following challenges:
Michelle Perkett Studio: Mothers Day
The Pink Elephant: Mommy I love you
Raise the Bar: For Mom
Stamp something: Birthday somethings
Tuesday Taggers: Recycled
Thanks for looking

So pretty Claire - she's going to love it. I've never done any beading - think I'm too awkward - never could learn to knit or crochet either. The card is gorgeous! I'm going to direct my DIL to your blog. :)
