Only one more to go, yippee.
This is the one destined for Tasmania - I do hope my customer likes it.
The only requirement was for lilies as the recipient (Lil) likes lilies - how appropriate :-)
The backing papers were designed by ......drum roll......ME!! Three different ones no less, though all are similar .
Can you tell how pleased I am with myself, lol.
I started off with a neutral BP and added the stargazer lily images in varying levels of transparency.
I couldn't find anyone who sells stargazer lilies, only cala's, so I resized the image, printed it 3 times and decoupaged it.
I made up the 'congrats' circle and edged it with gold pen.
The inside is the neutral BP, a 50% transparent lily and a lightened circle for the greeting.
Seam binding ribbon, a doily and lace finish it off.
The box/envelope in silver mirri card. Computer generated label on a Nellie die cut frame.
I fancied it up a bit with an MS corner punch.
Top Tip learned today
A baby wipe removes nasty gluey splodges and fingerprints from lovely shiny mirri card :-)
A buff with a clean tissue and no one would guess how messy some people can be, lol
Thank you for stopping by :-)
Cheers me dears
