Sampin' Up! Perfectly Preserved

Hello there,

I am hosting a Macmillan coffee morning today but I thought I would pop on and share a card with you first ;-) I will try to remember to take a few pics today and share some of the goings on tomorrow too.

So, on to today's card. I made this one for my lovely friend and down line Anna for her birthday a few weeks ago and as I am so in love with this set I just had to use it ;-) 

I used a rich and feminine colour combo of Island Indigo and Raspberry Ripple with Crumb Cake

 some masking of the flowers to fit them in the jar

I *heart* this ruffled ribbon, it also makes great flowers (see side bar for tutorial)

 and I decorated inside too

and I also made a matchbox style box to pop her gift in too 

Island Indigo card for the base with an outer wrapper made with Orchard Harvest DSP from the Autumn/Winter catalogue (page 28)

with a matching jar on the front to finish

Right, I had better get going before everyone gets here, wish me luck!!

Stampin' Hugs for today,
