Okay it seemed like a good idea at the time....truth be known it was a challenge and I am happy with the outcome - just incase anyone doesn't know what I am wittering on about -
Cape Gooseberry
The challenge this week at Polkadoodles is to create a card or something with a fruit theme with a hidden element.
Why a Cape Gooseberry popped into my head I'm really not quite sure, but here goes -
My idea was the hidden element could be inside a box, so thats what I started thinking about a fruit that could encorporate a box.......

I have a pattern for a box on my pazzles - unfortunately I discovered it doesn't seem to work - luckily it cut most of it just had last side to finnish by hand then score it(score doesn't appear to work on this pattern).
I used a 12 x 12 sheet of orange cardstock - after making up box sealed edges with pva and tissue. Leaves were handcut from printed Vellum and inked. Joined leaves together with eyelet and added small eyelet at top of each leaf. Hole in bottom of box and joined box and leaves together with a pipecleaner for stem.

This is fantastic Claire, the outside of the box looks like real fruit skin, good enough to eat! I love the pipe cleaner caterpillar :-) The outer leaves look really effective, well done and good luck in the challenge! Rose xx
