Hello Folks. Here I am again, late as usual, I have been busy with birthday cards etc, but cannot show as yet because the birthdays are in early May. However, I did enjoy making this easy tissue box, courtesy of the lovely Hazel who designs for Nigel at Cardcreationsplus. I hope you will also visit Hazel's blog and you can find it Here. The images are from the Flowers in Bloom CD rom and its even more beautiful that I expected. The paintings are done by the British artist Jan Harbon.
I used a dark brown card for my base and lid and decorated it with images from the cd. Adding a narrow orange velvet ribbon along the lid. This was so easy to make that I'm making some for the family. They would also make lovely Christmas gifts too. I've pulled a muscle in my back and boy is it giving me Jip. It kept me awake for most of the night, and so it will be an early night for me I think.
Hope you are all well and enjoying some craft time. And to those who are suffering I send my Best Wishes. Hugs Rita xx
