In addition to covering the box with Violet Love paper, I fussy cut the sweet flowers and leaves from one of the add on papers as well as the "You are in my heart" sentiment strip. The filigree heart tucked in is an Anemone Fantiazja Corner Chipboard piece topped with Ranger Pale Gold embossing powder. 

The top of the lid is stenciled using Mini Many Textures TCW Stencil with Finnabair's Rose Gold Icing Paste. More icing paste is stenciled around the sentiment using the Mini Well Rounded and Mini Texturized TCW Stencils. A touch of lace is adhered around the top of the lid with Bambino Glue.

*****Tip*****
When covering a box with paper, make sure the lid fits loosely, or one you add the paper, you may not get the lid to fit back on over the layer of added paper. If the lid fits tight, you could cover to box just to the edge of the lid.

The sweet pale pink roses are from the Studio75 store and the other flowers are from Little Birdie Crafts and 49 and Market. I also tucked in a couple metal leaves I found in the jewelry department of my local craft store. The floral heart is one I've had in my stash for several years. I gave it new life by painting it with white gesso and then rubbing with Finnabair's Rose Gold Metallique Wax. Finally, there's a bit of texture with Prills and Finnabair's Microbeads adhered with Bambino Glue
