A lilac christmas card and matching gift box


I've noticed that most of my cards recently have been in traditional colours and so I'm taking a break from those again - back to the purples today.


I made a little triangle box suitable for hanging on the tree, to match the card.


Recipe
Stamp set: Scandinavian Season, Punches Three
Cardstock: Lovely Lilac, Almost Amethyst, Whisper White
Ink: Versamark, SU Markers
DSP: Tea Party
Punches: Eyelet Border, Scallop Square
Other: Dazzling Diamonds, Silver Brads, Silver EP

I used a strip of DSP to decorate the front of the card and again on the inside to highlight the decorative edge. The corners with the inset brads were punched off with the corner of the Scallop Square.


Recipe
Stamp set: Scandinavian Season
Cardstock: Lovely Lilac, Whisper White
Ink: Versamark, SU Markers
Narrow Grosgrain Ribbon: Whisper White
Other: Dazzling Diamonds, Silver Brads, Silver EP

The snowflake background to the box is stamped with Versamark.

Off now to the theatre - Dreamboats and Petticoats tonight.

Thanks for stopping by.
