1. Remove the lid from a wooden box, then apply a couple of coats of lilac paint and leave to dry. Draw in the purple flower patterns around the sides and top.
2. Paint the large petals in lavender. Lightly dab off some of the colour with a clean tissue to create a distressed look. Add purple semi-circles in between each petal, arranging them around a yellow centre.
3.Add fine green lines and a stem. Trace off the lettering from the pattern pages and work in a darker purple for contrast. Add dots with dimensional paint at the end of the lines and in the centre of each purple semi-circle.
