Silver Col Blossom Rolled Rose 3in Favour/gift Box N' CardCompleted by Peggy Stogdill

Printed on 200gm matte photo paper. I scored and folded all the lines on the box and card, then put the box together with strong dst (very easy!).

After cutting the spiral pieces for the roses, I rolled them up fairly tightly with the pattern facing in (I used a quilling tool to help begin the rolling, but a toothpick or such would also work).

Once rolled, I set them down to unfurl and form a rose, then glued them securely to the base (the center of the rose) with thick glue, holding them in place for a bit until the glue began to set.

I've been making several of these, and this time I "squashed" the roses after the glue dried for a more vintage look.

I stuck them to the box and card with silicone gel, shaped the leaves, and attached them with silicone as well.

Punched a tiny hole in the card and added gold cord for hanging, as these will make wonderful gift tags.

Or, for a really special tag, insert it into the box with the cord out and hang it as a unit.

Printing a coordinating design on the back of the sheet would be lovely too, then no white would be showing.

Just charming!
