Meadow beauty 14

 Hi all

I wanted to make something different.  A while back I made a matching card, bookmark and tag.  This time I made a matching card and pillow box for small gift. I actually dusted off my die cut machine and used a Tim Holtz pillow box Bigz die.  Had that for years so also needed dusting off lol

I have called this Meadow beauty

 I used the following ingredients

5x5 inch square card blank

Lavinia stamps - Orchard grass, Bluebells, Foliage set, Lavender, Butterflies, Flower Fairy and Flora set

Versafine Clair - Rain forest, Nocturne, Monarch, Twilight, Verdant, Medieval blue and Charming pink

Stickles - Golden Rod, Cayman and Lime Green

Elements ink Midnight blue

Ho Ho Ho!!!! 3

 Hey everyone I am loving the new challenge over at Peace on Earth Christmas and the moodboard features the Big Man, the one who checks off the Naughty and Nice list,,,,, I am usually on the former lol


I found this stamp in my drawer and I think it is a Stampendous stamp.  I have had it for so many years and the packet went walkabout.

I stamped it using Versafine Nocturne.  I watercoloured the image.  I stamped the mini holly stamp by Lavinia in two corners and used a red gel pen for the berries. I used wink of stella randomly over the holly. 

Blended elements truffle around the edge of card and mounted the panel onto black card

Sentiment is by Marianne Design, Christmas Carols and was heat embossed using WOW Platinum sparkle embossing glitter



Thanks for visiting me and hope you will pop on over to Peace on Earth Christmas challenge and join in with the fun
