A Bevvy of Boxes - #2

Another day, another birthday. This time it is the step-daughter of my brother....aka Miss 12. I admit I did wuz out a little on the gift idea as 12 is nearly the same as 13....so the gift idea was the same, but the colour scheme different. Miss 12 is also a Type 1 diabetic like myself, so instead of chocolates, I sent a big bag of sugar-free fruit lollies for her to enjoy.

The colour scheme for this set was entirely based around a DP I found at my local craft haunt. By chance it happened to co-ordinate with Brocade Blue, Pumpkin Pie, So Saffron and Bashful Blue. The card idea was inspired by this card fm SCS. This however was a square card and I had to make it to fit a rectangular card. Here's my version of the card...

A close up of the flower and sentiment. I used the Scallop Square Punch whole for the DP and then cut it doun for the Saffron and down again for the sentiment. That way I knew it would all fit together nicely. I think it worked well, and will definitely use it again (and cut straighter next time I do it!!).



and the box......

and the set together.....

More fun with more birthday antics coming up....stay tuned and thanks for dropping by.
