A birthday card for a lovely friend......

my friend is into shabby chic....so I thought this craftwork cards collection was just perfect to make her card....





I have used the Vintage Ephemera collection of papers and toppers and sat them into one of the tonic box cards that I bought in 2013 and have just found whilst doing a cleanup....I will be using these again as they are really easy to make up......sadly the glossy accents that I have highlighted the glass perfume bottles with doesn't show on the photo....
The hard part is going to be posting it!....
hope you are crafting and having fun today.....
