Mother's Day card in a box - Challenge 247 LNS

My card making classes are starting again this week.There was a brief hiatus because of my hand surgery. The class will be focusing on a project for Mother's Day.
I love making these cards in a box, and I used the stamp set Backyard Basics and coordinating framelits to do so. The tutorial I used was from Splitcoaststampers here

The box was made using Pear Pizzazz card stock, decorated with first Very Vanilla and then Afternoon Picnic DSP.
I coloured the images with SU ink pads and an aqua brush and die cut them using the coordinating backyard framelits.  I attached the die cut images to the inserts using stampin' dimensionals.

Backyard Basics Birthday - Technostamper 291

I'm finally finished with my Christmas cards, so now its time to start on some Birthday cards.  I have some birthdays coming in the New Year so I might as well get ahead of myself.
I used the sketch challenge with Technostamper here to design my card.

The base card is Wisteria Wonder, layered with Whisper White card stock embossed with Stylish Stripes embossing folder. A strip of designer paper was adhered to the left side of the embossed layer and a piece of ruffled Wisteria Wonder ribbon attached over the seam.

The focal image is coloured with SU markers and die cut using the Backyard Basics Framelit.  It was then attached to the embossed card stock using glue.  The sentiment is stamped with Elegant Eggplant  ink and punched with the  Label Bracket punch and adhered below the focal image.  

I put some dazzling details in the middle of the flowers and rhinestones on the top and bottom of the sentiment.
