Bridal Mailbox

I needed to make a bridal shower gift for my future sister-in-law, so I decided to decorate a mini mailbox in her wedding colors since my brother told me she’d love a decorated mailbox. I wanted to make it slightly different than the other mailboxes I’ve decorated, especially since this was for a bridal shower. This is what I came up with:

I adhered real lace on top of red DSP (from Western Sky), cutting a hole in the fabric around the end of the flag. The lace wanted to pull up at that spot, so I created a paper reinforcer to keep the lace down. The rest of the details should be noticeable, but if you have any questions, post in the comment section please.

Have fun stampin' and creatin'!
