I have mentioned before about how The Doc's Custard Tarts from a certain supermarket come in a nice diagonal blue stripy box and I always salvage as much of the box as I can. Well they don't anymore! The box design has been changed to a peachy coloured striped one and as you can see below I have put the first salvaged box to good use. I sat and painted another (single image this time) Woodware Anemone stamp on Sunday to placate The Doc for sending the last card off to Portugal!
The image has been mounted onto orange card which I have adhered to the cut down base of the box. There was just enough of the orange card left to make the spine of the card and attach the front acetate sheet which you can just see in the photo above. The sentiment is a black adhesive one from my stash which I stuck to the white part of the image. I have left the front acetate sheet completely plain so that it wouldn't detract from the flower.
