Sweet Friend

Good evening friends.

A couple of people asked about the tutorial for my mini pizza box the other day.  Well   here  it is.  I'm sorry I didn't do at it at the time. My only excuse is that I put the link on the last time I posted one of these - not thinking  that I have more followers since then .  And I am so thankful for each and every one of you!

Desiree It was so nice  to hear from you again as I know you have a very full and busy life. Could you perhaps drop me an email so that I have your email address? Don't worry if you would rather not. I quite understand. My email address is on my profile page.

My Card


Click on image to enlarge picture

My card today uses all three of the SB Elegant Labels 4 dies. I just sponged all the centres with Spun Sugar distressing ink whilst they were still in the die to add some colour. The leaves are Cheery Lynn Leaf Flourish and the carnations and roses are WOC. 

This was intended as a birthday card for a friend but the time ran away from me so I thought I would change the sentiment so it won't matter quite so much when she receives it late. It was extremely quick to put together.  Not much of a friend am I?

Sorry this is such a quick post, but I hope it finds you all well.

Hi Christine,
what a stunning card. Your cards are always soooooo! elegant and pretty. except of course for the male cards .lol.
I love those elegant dies used in this. I definitely needed to have married a man with plenty of pennies as I want, want more dies, especially those you have used in this gem of a card.
Have a wonderful crafty weekend.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.

Oh Christine...this card is so pretty! I have never tried inking in the die although I have seen it on other blogs. I always think I will try that and then promptly forge tit...pesky concussion!
I followed the link for the izza box and it looks straightforward...think i could manage to follow those directions. I do better when there are clear step by steps like this one has!

Thanks for the link!
