This 4inch mini card features a sparkly brad, stardust stickles and a sparkly flourish - my favourite embellishment (after ribbons and flowers is anything that sparkles) a flower which was die cut with a Sizzix die from the back of a drinks mat then covered with another flower shape cut from pink card which was embossed prior to assembling. The top flower is a flat pink bloom plus a jewelled spacer (The Hobby House) and lastly, a brad from stash. The background papers were stitched to kraft card and the strip across the middle is pleated paper, again, stitched on the sewing machine using white top stitch thread. A portion of a Zva clear crystal flourish, a scrap of 25mm cream cotton lace and some natural button twine plus a tiny tag with a Papertrey Ink stamp finished the card. All of the paper components including the actual card were distressed with Tea Dye distressing ink.
The matching presentation box features a strip of ivory crepe paper over co-ordinating paper, topped with a 15mm pink satin ribbon, fastened with an 18mm clear acrylic button tied with natural button twine. I added a blank kraft tag cut from a scrap of kraft with a Papertrey Ink die. I applied sticky tape then pink grosgrain ribbon around the edge of the box.
