Oops, forgot this one!

I forgot to include this box in my post yesterday... which is lucky really as I don't have the camera today and can't take the pic of the card I really wanted to show you. 

But back to the box - it's another of those quick little 5-10-15-20 boxes, with the sides pinched so that the top will close. 

Again, flash photography has destroyed the background stamping... this time it was the delicate little flowers from Simply Said. I coloured the image with a Real Red marker - the fine tip really came into its own for the tiny flowers. 

Stamps: Simply Said (p39)
Cardstock: Real Red, Whisper White, Basic Black
Ink: Real Red, Basic Black
Accessories: Gingham ribbon - red (p86), Gingham ribbon - black (p86), household staple.

  1. cute boxes! i know what you mean about flash photos hiding the background. I usually don't remember to take photos until the evening or first thing in the morning so I'm stuck with artificial lighting and flash photography.

  5. This is adorable!!! I'm looking into a light box to take my pictures in. I get them done during the day but it always snows so no sun. This is wonderful even with the lighting problem!
