good evening all.am i earlier?? i think i am,lol.so onto tonights creation which ..................................hold to your hats....................................................IS NOT A CARD.
i know i `m shocked too but its still square, you can`t put me too far out of my comfort zone.lol.
so i have made a little gift box which i have filled with handmade peppermint creams which i have made this afternoon when i finished work.this is for my mum who loves peppermint creams.think i need to tweak the recipe though cos they have not hardened as much as i wanted them to and i may half coat some in dark choc.
so anyway i`m rambling!! this little sweet treat is going into the following challenges:
1.bunny zoes challenge = challenge 6 = christmas but not a card.
2.secret crafter saturday challenge = challenge 110 = handmade christmas gifts.
products used are:
cream card,
ms punch.
distress tool.
distress inks- fired brick and antique linen.
dovecraft premium vintage papers.
gold pearls.
nellie square.
burgandy ribbon and ribbon lace.
whiff of joy king image.
promarkers.
promarkers used are:
blush,sunkissed pink,coral.
pastel yellow,mustard,raw sienna.
ruby,cardinal,burgandy.
a piccy with the lid off and those yummy peppermint creams.think i need slightly more green food colouring next time too.
and a sideways view.
