Floral Trellis box

 I made this floral trellis popping box using a stencil and die combo from Robert Adams - in stock here at Joanna Sheen.

Kept it reasonably simple as the papers are quite detailed - K&Co.  I made the big flower on the front using a Sizzix Lily die and the rolled flowers are made with Marianne Dies(Catalogue no: LR0162).

The butterflies and smaller blooms were punched using Martha Stewart punches and the sentiment is an old Hero Arts (I think). 

This was for my M-I-Ls birthday yesterday so hope she liked it!!

Sketch N Stash - a Crimbo Card!

Another Monday comes around but still no real news on our move - at least I thought I'd have more time for crafting but I still seem to be playing catch up all the time!  Still hope to have a day of crafting which is great especially as the weather is so pants!

Today's card is for the new challenge starting at Sketch N Stash today using the sketch below:

I love the Tim Holtz Blueprint series of stamps and this is what I've used  here  and I coloured with distress inks for a change.  I splodged a bit on one of the corners so decided to use Aged Silver Frantage to cover it up and am rather pleased with the outcome!

My papers are a mix of Tim Holts and K&Co - everything is at least 6 months old as it was all purchased last year!  The only new item is the felt holly sprig which I got from Hobby Craft a few weeks ago.

We have two great Sponsors this fortnight which means two lucky winners!!
