I decided to make a box for this card so the flower didn't get crushed and to make it even more 'special' for someone!   Here is what I came up with using the directions from a past challenge at Joan's Gardens and shared by Selma Stevenson.  If you need a link to those directions ... let me know.


Below you can see I've added a touch of tissue paper to just add extra 'softness' and 'care' to this project.

Thanks for your visit!  Have a WONDERFUL DAY & WEEKEND!!
