CI#94 FEB 24 Pretty Perennials gift box of mini cards and envelopes.

I've had so much fun playing with the Pretty Perennials stamp set. This little gift set started with a single sheet of vanilla cardstock which I stamped randomly with the 4 colours of the challenge.  I used the gorgeous colour combination from CTC#94. I love blues but don't often use oranges, so it always surprises me how much I love the effect when I sue them. Do you have similar colour experiences?

The piece of 5 3/4" x 5 3/4 was stamped randomly and then cut into 4 equal squares 27/8" x 27/8. Before I cut the piece I spritzed it all over with alcohol and Frost white shimmer paint, it looked so sparkly and pretty.

Each card is embellished very simply with either navy twine or linen thread and the simple "For You" sentiment from the same set. The sequins from the Artistry Blooms are gorgeous colours and match the Mango so well.

I did use the thinlits to cut out some flowers to decorate the top of the Mini Pizza Box. I spritzed this also with alcohol, Shimmer White Frost and 2 drops of Misty Moonlight.  

There were a few elements left over so I made a card to go with this little gift.

My February retreat focused on the Pretty Perennials stampset so this design is also one we did in class with different colours.

Here's a few other colour options, including the one from class.
