Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge #65

It is time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge (FTTC65)! This week Silke Ledlow is our challenge host! Silke is challenging us to a card with gift set! It is the time of year where Mother's Day, Father's Day, Weddings, Graduations, along with Birthdays and many other reasons to celebrate and give warrant not only a card but a little something extra to go with it! You can go simple or over the top! Whichever you decide, we would love to see what you create!

I'm trying to make a point of using each of the stamps in the A Year In Flowers sets *in* the month they represent this year. These images are so gorgeous and a VERY nice size. Anyway, I made a little gable box and a card for my gift set. The gable box is just perfectly sized for a bar of handmade soap I picked up at a craft fair and will make a sweet little birthday gift for a co-worker.

I stamped the images from A Year In Flowers 2 on Classic White card stock and colored with Prismacolor pencils and OMS. Paper is new from Memory Box and is called "Enchanted". Doesn't that sound lovely?

Here's a close up of the card:
