Method:

There are twelve cards in this set - two sets of six the same, except for the ones with greetings on have a variety of greetings. I inked the stamps with markers in order to get different colours for the flowers and leaves. On the cards without greetings, the image was finished with hand doodled lines around the edge, then matted onto the lavender card. Embossed the green layer with Swiss Dots. On the cards with the greetings, after stamping the image, I sponged around the edges with Certainly Celery, before distressing slightly with scissors. Matted onto lavender, and then onto a square of Certainly Celery Designer Paper. I stamped the envelopes to match the cards.

I made the box from some white 12 x 12 medium weight card that I had. A very easy design to make, and tailor to the size of the cards. I decorated the sides and top of the lid with pieces of designer paper, and stamped both of the flower images to coordinate with the cards inside.

The cards and box were pretty quick to make, and I am hoping that the intended recipient will like them! Click on the picture if you want a closer look.
