MAY IARCC

Hi all, this is my submission for the May I am Roses Color Contest. This is for my mom to put her pens and pencils in for on her computer desk. This is a pen/pencil holder I made out of a Hershey's unsweetened cocoa container. I painted the top rim teal, added purple paper the whole way around, topped the paper with a beautiful wide lace ribbon. The swirl, I cut with my Cricut and covered with crystal colored glitter. All the flowers are I Am Roses except for the biggest one. I added flatback pearl trim under the rim. I also added loose flatback pearls as accents around the flowers and on the swirl. To top it off I added a Happy Mom's Day stamp on the inside of the container. The pencils are all painted with acrylic paint and coated with a glossy acrylic sealer. Small bead trim and more I Am Roses adorn the top of the pencils. Thanks for looking at my blog. ~Karen
