Tissue Box

I was asked a few months ago to create a Tissue Box using a magnolia stamp. While browsing my LSS I came across this super cute paper by Bo Bunny and at the time the Butterfly Dreams collection had just come out so I thought it would be perfect together!  I love this color combo too! Which is why I picked it for this weeks Color Challenge at Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog!  This week we want you to use "Orange, Teal, and Brown" together.




Tissue box covers are easy to make and make great gifts for co-workers, teachers or friends. 

I used spellebinders dies to cut a hole in the tops so that it was more decorative than a plain oval (can't see it in the pic, sorry). I colored  Tilda w/Hawaian Flower using copic markers. I love that orange combo. I got that combo from Annika! I was never happy with my peaches or oranges and I came across this on her blog and love it. It actually uses YR's and E90's. The butterflys are from a Martha Stewart punch as is the border punch. 

Hope to see you play along with us at Magnolia-licous Challenge Blog. The prize is a $25.00 gift certificate to the store.  Also, be sure to check out the other amazing creations by the DT! Get inspired!!

Hugs,
Tracy V

This is fantastic, Tracy! The color combination is very pretty and one that I would not have thought of myself. I have been wanting to make a tissue box cover like this and it's on my to=do list but I haven't gotten to it yet. Love this Tilda too.

That is adorable. Did you come up with the pattern to decorate your tissue box yourself? I need to do this for my house for the fall and would love to get some ideas. I do love those oranges; you will have to share the combos with us.
