A friend asked me to make this card for her mum's 65th birthday. I don't really do LIM, so I suppose this card's about as minimal as you're likely to get from me!
All the cardstock is white pearlised, and the ribbon, leaves and flower were all coloured with copic markers. There is dry embossing; die-cutting; (this Nestability is one of my faves) and the leaves are die-cut too (Marianne, I think, but I can't find which one). The flower was a cream silk flower from Hobbycraft originally, and it didn't come out quite the same colour as the edging or the ribbon, although I have to say it looks similar in the picture! What do I know?
The flowers on the box are WOC, and the die-cut swirl is Marianne, from the circle frame set. I used the waste card for the frame on the front of the box. We crafters always hate to waste anything!
I'll be entering the following challenges with this card:
