Just Add Ink 41 Birthday Challenge and Paper Players Anything Goes

A Special 50th Birthday
I wasn't going to do the birthday challenge at Just Add Ink this week but as it is one of my sister's 50th Birthday on the 7th of November I needed to make something special for her - and this is what I made. It is also anything goes at Paper Players this week, so I put my little box on there as well.  My sister is a bit of a flower person hence all the flowers on the box. I just love the little butterfly embosslits so they are going on lots of things at the moment as well.  I love Blossom Party die for the flowers (the big flower is a Daisy 2 die from SU USA a friend went over their last year to visit her son and brought it back for me)



 The little box has her favourite french perfume in it and the little pillow box has a little swarovski crystal in it. we have a few other surprises for her but they don't fit in my little box.
This is the matching card I am just loving Stampin Ups pearls and rhinestones as I am a bit of a bling person. I had to use a pearl from their retired Pretties kit on the front flower of the box as they don't have them any more (sigh!!)
Oops I think I got a bit carried away inside not heaps of room to write on - oh well I will have to give her extra hugs instead.
 Butterflies and pearls just love them.
Paper:  Baja Breeze, Soft Suede, Very Vanilla and Elegant Soiree DSP
Accessories: Lots of bling, Elegant Lines embossing folder, Beautiful Wings embosslit, Little leaves embosslit, Blossom Party, Pillow Box and Daisy 2 dies
