Valentine's Day Card & Gift!

These were both created for my daughter, who I usually refer to as "The Freshman". I had to get them in the mail to her so that she could get them today, since they don't receive mail on Saturdays, which is a pita. Anyways, she got them and says that she likes them (and the contents of the gift box), so I'm free to post them now!

The box and card feature stamped images from the "Love and Luck" (roses, barbed wire) and the "Man's Ruin" sets from Bombshell Stamps (the skull).

I colored all images with my Copic Markers, then shabbed them up with Distress Ink, and sanded the edges of the panels. I highlighted parts of the rose stamps with black glitter pen and used a silver Pentel pen on the barbed wire. Alas, when I sealed the box with decoupage glue, the ink from the markers and the glitter pen ran a bit. The box also photographed oddly due to the gloss finish. The box is more uniform in color and way less white in person. I scanned the card since the photo was blurry.

Fun things to note are that I stamped the barbed wire on grosgrain ribbon, which was then colored with with the silver pen. I found the doily at the supermarket and had to buy a pack. I'm sure I'll use 'em.

The gift box contained heart shaped candy, a gift card, and a silver charm. She liked all of that too. Yay.
