Authentique – Flourish by Melinda Miller

Design team member Melinda Miller came up with two scrapbook pages and a tag box with the “Flourish” collection by Authentique.

Tri Favor Box made Melinda’s way!

Creative Imaginations Tri Favor Box – Detail

Using a variety of tools and punches she created her flowers for the tags inside the Creative Imaginations box that she beautifully decorated.

Melinda used the We r  Memory Makers Envelope Punch Board to alter the edges of the tags in the box to make them even more decorative.

The same techniques detailed above is how Melinda created the flowers prominetly featured on this page as well.
