 I have created a gift bag in soft spring colours. Bag is made with plain white paper and some waxed string for handles. Flowers made with a Sizzix daisy die.

🎄ABC Christmas reminder

 Hi,

just a card to remind you of the current challenge at ABC Christmas where the theme for March is:

E - embossing
F - fussy and fancy
G - glitter

You can pick one or you can pick all and there's a lovely prize for a lucky winner.

I chose F for fussy and fancy and coloured an image from LOTV with distress inks. I masked of the bunnies and the moon and went over the paper with distress ink Blueprint Sketch to create the sky. I sprayed some perfect pearls before I removed the mask. Sentiment is computer generated.

🎄 ABC Christmas March

 For March the challenge at ABC Christmas is:
E - Embossing
F - Fussy and Fancy
G - Glitter

For E - embossing I used an embossing folder on black cardstock and added some chipboard flowers and rhinestones. Sentiment is computer generated.

And for G - glitter I made a gift box from very sparkly paper. The box is made up of two parts that form a star when closed. I tied it together with a sheer satin ribbon. To make the box I used a tutorial from Paper Pixie

Carol is hosting this challenge so she's offering this yummy prize to a lucky winner:
