Antique Silver Teapot.

Hello every one: I hope and pray you and your families are doing well, taking care of each other and still wearing your masks.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Welcome to a new RETRO RUBBER challenge, this time is the ever so popular "Anything Goes" so, we hope you come over and play with us in our gallery.

This is what I made to inspire you to join us.


Ok, this might look to you like just a rectangle, but in reality is a box that could hold just about whatever you want to put in it, I chose to put tea bags, I can fit 20 or more of someone's favorite teas.

I followed the directions on THIS VIDEO TUTORIAL by the fabulous Julie DiMatteo on her blog called THE PAPER PIXIE.  She created this box back in February of 2020, I'm so addicted to her videos!!
******************************************************
This is a picture of the inside and the sides of the lid, you can fit 20+ bags of tea inside this box.


This is what I used.

The teapot image is from Lizzie Anne Designs but I bought it from E-bay 4 years ago.

The black ornamental image is from a retired SU die set called "Detail Bands" (2020)

The sentiment and little teacup on top of the box are from a 2010 Flourishes set called "Christmas Tea"

The ribbon is from my stash.

So I hope you hop over Julie's video tutorial and give this fun and easy box a try and then, come and join my teammates and I at our gallery.

Thank you for visiting me today, be sure to visit the RETRO RUBBER challenge blog for more inspiration from my awesome teammates.

Stay healthy and safe.

XO
Maria.

Oh, that's a pretty teapot and definitely antique looking. More so because you left it with embossing only. It's a beautiful box full of friendship!
