This was a card 
I made for my friends sister who was 50 over the Christmas Holiday. Allison wanted the card to have a gardening theme as her sister's passion is gardening. I chose some blue stripe dsp paper from S.U. for the background and mounted it onto silver foiled card. Then I wrapped a length of blue grosgrain from top to bottom, adhering the ends to the underside of the topper to conceal the raw ends. The background was then stuck to the base card.

The image was mounted onto a layer of silver card and using foam pads I stuck the image over the grosgrain. The foam pads give a little dimension to the card.
I added a bow in the same grosgrain using glue dots.
I printed off the greetings and hot foiled them, then cut them out to resemble seed labels and tucked them behind the bow. The next step was to stamp, colour and cut out the butterfly. I added some sparkles along the butterfly's body and glued it to the label.
The last tasks were to print and hot foil the insert and make the box.
