Some Gifts

I wanted to give my fellow team members a little gift at Convention. So I came up with a version of a box I had done previously (see here). This time I again used the layered flower in tissue paper, but I had learnt my lesson from the swaps and used the En Francais Background Stamp (it covers a lot more paper with one stamp).



I used the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder to emboss some Vellum, I layered this on Melon Mambo or Rich Razzleberry and Whisper White, added some Whisper White Taffeta Ribbon and sentiment from the Short & Sweet Stamp Set.








I managed to find these cute little packets of tissues (they are smaller than the normal size packets), and added a lip balm. I would have added some chocolate too, but unfortunately there was no room.

  5. Hi Alison, these are beautiful. Clever thought to use the background stamp to give the tissue definition. Off to make some boxes myself....
