Gift Box Card

Morning, I found the instructions for a box card I made a couple of years ago and decided to decorate using some papers I wasn't too keen on lol. The papers are from Craft&You and Paper Favourites. The stamped leaves are by Stamping Art from Ciobella, stamped and coloured with pencils and cut out -I stamped on the textured side of the cardstock(by mistake-making a few lately lately!!!) and got a mottled effect which I quite liked. The little insect images were cut from a bite and sting cream box I was throwing away. The thin strip in the corner was cut off the paper and while I was sat having a coffee I was playing with it -then thought oooh that will fit nicely in the corner lol, a couple more offcut strips added inside too-got so carried away made a masculine one with some papers I have a few of too.
