Annabelle Stamps - ABS022

This weeks sketch challenge at Annabelle Stamps is brought to us by design team member Teresa.

I hope you'll join us,  this is a prize challenge and you have two weeks to submit your entry. Andrea will be picking one random project to receive this weeks prize which is the set Helen's Party.

Just want to let you know that Andrea has been busy working on some fabulous new sets. We're all very excited and can't wait to get our hands on them!  Keep watching, there will be some previews soon.

OK so this week I've made a little Birthday card and a pillow box for a small gift (all the best gifts come in small boxes isn't that right girls) **wink**.  I love this  SU Melon Mambo card, just using VersaMark gives a great patterned look.  I did combine a couple of sets this week so here goes:

1. Stamp the small flower from Helen's Party onto SU Melon Mambo using VersaMark Ink. 

2. Cut 3 x 1/2" strips of basic black Bazzill card that has been run through the Cuttlebug using a Swiss        

    dots embossing folder attache to the M M card.

3.  Stamp the image from "My Garden"  onto white card and colour with Copic markers.

4.  Using foam tape add the coloured image over the three black stripes and add four small pink gems

     From Annabelle Stamp Pink Petal Kit. 

5.  Add three more pink gems, large, medium and small.

6.  Inside the card stamp the sentiment from Helen's Party in black ink and one parcel which has a       

     Copic coloured ribbon.

For the Pillow Box:

1.  Cut the shape from white embossed card.  Score the top and bottom folds.

2.  Add three 1/4" M M strips, and stamp two small flowers from Helen's Birthday. Colour with Copic              

     markers.

3.  Stamp the sentiment onto a scrap of white card, score just in from the edge on four sides and attach to

     the front of the pillow box.

4.  Add one small pink gem to dot the 'i'.

5.  Fill with something.......delish!

The inside of my card looks like this:

I can't remember where I got my template from for this little pillowbox but click here for a pattern if you think you might like to try one for yourself.
