You would have just come from Kristine Thompson blog. Have you been enjoying all the great projects you've seen so far!?
So here our my projects for today! I have been wanting to make this box out of the scallop envelope die. I am pleased with how it turned out too.
So, what do you think of my scallop circle card??? I LOVE it! I was going to use the polka dot embossing folder on the Riding Hood Red cardstock but I (obviously!) went with manhattan flower instead. As usual, I got out my white gel pen and went around the scallops.
The inside of the card. I have to tell you that I had a 'happy accident'. I somehow got ink on my hand and smudged it on the white cardstock right where the flower is. Luckily, I had a little of the DSP left and the flower was just the right size to cover up the smudge! PHEW!
Up close and personal with the box. Yes more white gel pen!! LOL
I added the ribbon on the handle with, you guessed it, more white gel pen!! LOL
Happy Stamping and thanks for visiting my blog!

Great project ... and I love the way you have fixed your 'accident'. I am amazed by the effects of the gel pen, it looks like the edge has been perforated ... great work.
