Flirty Anya Transformed

Here's a card I made using a sketch from Anyone for Anya blog.  I used The Greeting Farm Flirty Anya and 80's Anya to create a different look.  The bottom photo is the original Flirty Anya. I used stampin up designer paper and cardstock.  The sentiment was from C.C. Designs Amy R Stamps Summer Sentiments.  I added rhinestones, flowers with dew drops for my embellishments.  I distressed around the image with Stampin up Pixie Pink ink.

Tissue Box Cover

I had fun creating this tissue box cover.  I used the "Snow dots" Cuttlebug embossing folder for the sides of the box and the "With Love" and "Floral Fantasy" Cuttlebug embossing folders for the lid.  I use Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress ink to distress the whole cover.  I used the scallop oval spellbinder to cut the hole on the top of the lid.  The stamped image used is Milton & Co Milton in Hat clear stamp.  The border was created with a heart edge punch.  I created this tissue box for All That Scraps Weekly Wednesday Challenge.
