Hi all well i’m back. Blogging going well so far this year!!!! This is the card I have made for My Mother for her birthday. I have used my Meadow Cottage Bears Hunkydory kit from Crafter’s Companion . I have used an 8x8 scalloped base card and made this into an easy easel. I have matted using gold mirror card to coordinate with the foil detailing on the cardstock. As you can see I have created a double bow using some organza ribbon and my Ultimate Pro . I then added some flowers for details through the knot. Then placed some additional flowers above. I decided that this card deserved a lovely box. I created the box using The Boxer Board . I have made it an inch deep. The card stock used for the box was Snow White Accents cardstock . I have embelished using elements from the card kit, flowers, ribbon and a punched Martha Stewart Butterfly. The whole box and card coordinate beautifully. Right then best be off. I will be back later with more Cre...
