Always be a Mermaid!


Hello

Today is my sisters birthday, I made the card first and another box in black and white but then had a thought about making another box to match the card. Wasn't as easy as I thought but worked out better than I expected. 
She is normally away for her birthday but she is going away a couple of days later this time so we are meeting tonight for a meal and a catch up.

The box is filled with a few holiday essentials but I bought a few to many and had to wrap some up separately....

The mermaid stamp is from craft stamper mag, the box is tonic second attempt, coloured with distress inks and some shells added to the lid.




Thanks for visiting, really do appreciate it!

Hi Ali, strange as i was sure id already commented on this beautiful work? Things seem to be playing up since the privacy change etc, i no longer get emails to say got comments. Anyway yes please do use what i added re the privacy, i kind of adapted and changed from seeing on another blog - hopefully it covers it enough - nightmare really isn't it. I hope you have a good weekend. Hugs Emmax
