Hi everyone! Long time, no see! It's been nutty around here lately...not much time for stamping and creating but I wanted to pop in and share a little something with you all today.
A dear friend of mine just celebrated a birthday a couple of weeks ago and I went to my favorite site to search for her gift...Etsy!
I came across this necklace from caughtREDhanded and I just loved it and thought it suited her perfectly.
I pulled out one of my glassine bags from Papertrey Ink and thought it would be the perfect packaging for her gift. I used the die from my latest set, Flower Fusion #1, to create the flower just like I did in this post. I stamped the stem and leaves onto a piece of cardstock and then trimmed out just the leaves to use with my flower. Those were attached to a tag punched out with my Marvy tag punch. The sentiment 'Birthday Wishes' is from my set, Asian Fusion. I added a doily, rhinestones and a button to complete it.
BTW...she loved the necklace! :) Now I want one!
Have a wonderful day everyone and thanks for stopping by to say hi!

What a pretty necklace with beautiful presentation. You are a good friend to be so thoughtful. I am impatiently waiting for my stuff to get here. I hope I have it by the weekend. It takes a long time to get to the west coast. Hope your week is going well.
