tissue box cover

I went to the NEC hobby craft show at the weekend, it was briliant,I came home broke, tired,and very happy after two days of craft shopping,I got some lovely stamps and this tissue box is done with some of them I used a template to make the box cover,tim holtz distress ink pads and the stamps are creative expressions I coloured it with copics

tilda with lilacs

this is a close up the colour is better I think the flash went off

tilda with lilacs

I saw this idea on you tube,the lady who was saying that she always stamps in black and embosses in clear,so I thought I would try that, I had looked around  friends blogs and most people were trying and using copics, I have only got the face colours so this card is done with a mixture
