Flippin' Christmas and Some Good News!

Good morning everyone!

Before i share my card creation i would like to share some good news with you!

I recently had my regular mamogram and when i went to see my consultant he said the result was normal. It has been nearly 7 years since i had breast cancer and i decided  that i would continue with another 5 year course of tablets. My consultant also discussed liposuction with me as the area where the lump was removed is sunken in and looks quite weird.

So now for my latest creation

I have had the Flippin' Christmas sheets in my stash for a very long time. 

I thought it was about time i created a card with it.

I started with a sheet of A4 card and embossed with my favourite Embossalicious A4 folder from Crafter's Companion. Cut a circle on the front and added some acetate to the inside.

Cut out the decoupage and elements on the sheets. 

Layered the insert image onto punched card which i used my EK Success snowflake punch.

Finished the card off with some gold outline peel offs and a large satin bow.

For the box i used 2 sheets of A4 card, embossed the lid to match the card and added a matching large satin bow.
