Jeanne's Pressie

Here's Jeanne's Pressie as promised.

 Last Thursday one of the Unconvention Challenges was to make this Peek-a-Boo Box.

It is a very tiny box, I loved making it.

 My next Dilemma was what can I give here that would fit inside it.

 I have used Faux Linen Technique again, I'm enjoying this at the moment.

 The butterfly on top of the box I have embossed using nail filing dust from Not Quite Navy mixed with Clear Embossing Powder on Glossy Cardstock. I was very pleased with the results.

 Here's the inside of the box, I have stamped the butterfly in Early Espresso.

Back to my dilemma.

I decided to make a Cameo Brooch, I used a Level 1 Hostess Set 'Silhouette Sentiments'.

I made this gift them made her card which you can view HERE.

Jeanne was thrilled to receive her gift and card.

 I went over to check out what this weeks challenge over at Try Stampin' on Tuesdays and found out that I was one of the top 3 picks.

Thinking of You

Just before the end of last year, a friend of ours passed away.

So here is the card that I have made for Noeleen.

 Mary Fish has a video tutorial to make this vase, it's so cool using the bird stamp in Punch Potpourri Level 1 hostess set. I know I would have never thought off it. 

This is the inside of the card. The other Stamp Set that I have used is also a Level 1 Hostess Set called Silhoutte Sentiments, I uesd Poppy Parade and Pear Pizzazz Marker directly onto the stamp.

I also used Mary Fish's No Slide Ribbon Tutorial.

Thanks Mary for all your inspiration.
