Passion for Promarkers - Anything Goes

Hello again, crafty friends!  My aren't these days flying by?!  We're already nearly at the end of the first month of 2014 and I'll let you into a little secret...it's my Birthday!  But that's not why I'm here!  Of course, it's time for a new challenge over at Passion for Promarkers and this week it's the fabulous Nic's (aka Coops) turn to host and she's got a nice easy one for us this week as it's an Anything Goes Challenge!
This week we are sponsored by the fabulous Polkadoodles

Don't forget to be eligible to win the prize, you MUST use your Letraset products (i.e. promarkers, flex markers, aqua markers, tria markers, metallic markers or neon markers) and of course follow the theme

...I decided to make something other than a card and created a little notecard box.  I constructed the base from cream, linen embossed box board (must be at least 400gsm) and covered the sides with dark brown pearl card, embossed with Budding Vine embossing folder, rubbed with Versamark and highlighted with Golden Peach Mica Powder, to give an embossed metallic effect.

...The iris picture was a stamp that I found precoloured in my drawer, layered onto a Marianne doily die and SB Eyelet Circles die.  It was coloured using the following colours :
Lavender, Orchid, Amethyst, Purple, Vanilla, Mustard, Gold, Meadow, Apple, Lime, Pear and Moss

...I wanted to add something inside the box so decided to make some little notecards to go inside....the only problem being I no longer had the iris stamp as I'd borrowed it off Mum!  I rooted through my stamping box and found this pretty rose stamp and thought it would go with the floral theme...

...I made 4 notecards, each with a different colour theme.  Here's the colour list I used :

Lilac Rose - Soft Mauve, Lavender, Orchid, Amethyst, Purple, Imperial Purple

Pink Rose - Pale Blossom, lossom, Sorbet, Fuschia, Maroon

Yellow Rose - Ivry, Vanilla, Mustard, Gold, Soft Peach, Peach, Honeycomb

Red Rose - Tea Rose, Watermelon, Antique Pink, Ruby, Burgundy

All leaves - Lime Zest, Moss, Olive

...I highlighted the flowers with a touch of crystal glitter, inked the edges with Antique Linen DI and matted onto the same gold cardstock as the box sides.  I also made matching cream envelopes for each of the notecards...

...I finished the box with some purple satin ribbon and a chocolate box style bow.  I really like how this little project turned out and would like to add some iris notecards if I can borrow the stamp back from Mum!
