Tissue box covers

I made these covers for boxes of tissues (was going to give measurements but all makes differ)I measured two sides and added an inch(2 of these)and glued together,then I made a lid to fit and added an inch all round and scored for the sides.Before I glued it I cut an aperturein the top using the perforated top that you take off,then make up lid and glue to the sides-then slip in the tissue box to make it easier to make sure it sticks.I used an Adorning square die for the top and used a Floral oval die to cut out the centre of the square to fit aperture then added this with 3-D foam.I then decorated the sides with K&C papers.Used the Floral ovals(2sizes) to fit the sides again using 3-D foam,then added the butterflies(craft mag freebie die),then added ribbons from stash and made flowers for top with Tonic punches and card candy centres.

Green or pink???

My card today contains more green than I intended but when I tried to change most of the green for pink,Ellie said the green looked better so am going with her judgement as she soon tells me if she doesn't like any card I make.I wanted to catch Mos digital challenge this week too.For the pink embossing parts I mixed three colours of pink embossing powder,a holographic one and some bits of glitter-not sure if it worked or not.Image coloured with promarkers and glamour dusted.
