Happy Easter Handmade card

Hello everyone
I am back with a handmade card today and after really long. I haven't made any cards in the last few months and so I am really excited to share this one with you all. Since Easter is on the horizon, I have made a shabby chic Easter card.

I am putting my card up at monthly competitions at:-

12 Polkadoodles Crafting Challenge week 14

13 The Ribbon Girl April Challenge

14 Scrappy Land Challenge #63- Used die from Elizabeth Craft Design

15 Try it on tuesday # Botanical

I have used a lot of products to make this one and am simply in love with the result. The papers used for the card are from Eno Greetings and Papericious. I have done a little stenciling using a very pretty Roses stencil from Prima Marketing. The egg is fussy but by me since I didn't have a die for it. The stamp used for the sentiment is partly from a local store while the EASTER is handwritten using a finetip waterproof Black pen.

I added some delicate leaves using Elizabeth craft designs die and some mulberry flowers which are from different stores. The laces and trims are from local store and Itsybitsy. I did dry brush some Art Basics Heavy white gesso on some flowers and other places.

 I have distressed the edges and added some sparkle using clear sparkle powder from Crafters corner. I have also used Wink of stella at some places. The little gold bird is from Papericious chippies and is heat embossed using Tinsel Gold from Ranger.Finally, I finished the card by added few  sequins and splatters of gold and white acrylic paints.

Handmade 50th Birthday Gift Box

Hey everyone

How are you all doing this week....I am back with a another new gift box...Ii have been making a lot of gift boxes lately and I really had some fun making them. Now this gift box is made to celebrate 50th birthday and is made keeping gold, black and white as color scheme. I really hope you guys will like this one...

I am putting this project up at Addicted to stamps challenge - Make your mark (I have used white gel pen to write on tags), Petal Lu  and Allsorts challenge - Lets celebrate.

This box is actually 9 1/4"x 5 1/4" on the outside and 8 1/4"x 4 1/4" on the inside and the thickness is 2". I have kept the embellishments to the minimum as the paper used is very decorative on its own. I have used handmade flowers, sparkle dots and few die cut flourishes to decorate this box.

The supplies used for this project are mentioned below.

 The little mustache is stamped with versamark using a foam stamp from itsybitsy and heat embossed with UTEE(Ultra thick embossing enamel) from ranger on a black cardstock. Then I just fussy cut is with little scissors and mounted it on the numbers using some strong adhesive.

The 3 little tags are handcut by me and the messages are handwritten with white gel pen. Holes were punched with a Kangaroo hole punch and then attached to the box using some white satin ribbon. I also used gold and white satin ribbonds as closure for the box.

 The Birthday Wishes sentiment is from Justrite Grande Handwritten Sentiments clear stamp set. I have heat embossed the sentiment using versamark and Gold embossing powder from Ranger on a black cardstock.

So here is the list of supplies used for the box:

1 Chipboard (Kraftily Konnect)

2 Black handmade paper (Itsybitsy)

3 Gold pearl paper ( A1 craft supply)

4 Gold satin ribbon (Itsybitsy)

5 White satin ribbon (Itsybitsy)
