Exploding box that looks amazing

Pink, pink, pink.... That's the inspiration. I was at a halt thinking what design to use. I looked at the kind of card stock I had on hand and started making the base for a framed card. Well, it was done and happy with the start but looking at the space that my colleagues can use to sign in the card, there wasn't enough space. So back to the drawing board.

Now, that glimmering card stock will do, it's the exploding box for this card. Decision made but now what size should it be. With some deliberation do what will look great but not too big, I settled for a 4 x 4 x 4 inches cuboid. The fun started from here. 

I have made a number of exploding boxes and the centre space has always been domed acetate for floral arrangement with a led candle inside it. This time I decided to to layer two boxes to make a cake feature and decorate it with punched petite petal flowers in vellum . Thre pieces of cut shapes crunched up in the middle then layered to get the pretty effect centred with painted half pearl. The bottom layer of the cake is wrappers with silver ribbon. Then the rest of the design was a matted of what messages can be put together to finish the card.  So here is the finished product. Hope you enjoy this magnificent card...

And putting these together to summarise.... Enjoy!
