What a wonderful challenge today - shabby chic. Now I've found reasonably priced, rigid card boxes I am happy to make more 3D cards. I die-cut the doily in ivory and a circle of paper slightly smaller, then cut that again slightly smaller leaving a narrow circle for the sentiment to sit in. I die cut the leaves, shaped them and glued together in pairs - one ivory one green. I put dots of Pinflair glue in the circle and added the flowers and leaves ... as it takes a while to firm up it allows repositioning. I popped some stickles on the green leaves for sparkle and finished off with pearls. TFL x

Wowza Sandie! Love the dimension, love the colors, love the flowers. I need to find a more reasonably priced box for mailing 3D cards...some day. Thank you for joining in on the challenge today with this stunning card!

Gorgeous card.... Love the pp's you used and how you framed and layered them! Adding a circle of pp around the sentiment is such a wonderful idea...it grounds the sentiment. (I must try this!!) and the total look is so soft and delicate. Amazing!

Oh, lucky you! I had some good boxes years ago from when Lakelands did a good range of craft supplies - and now that I have to make my own, I pass on the dimension much more. This is English country cottage perfection . I can just see wallpaper or furnishings in that pretty floral.
