I opened a box of tissues recently and admired the outside design. I realized I could translate it into a card, a really pretty card. To see a photo of the tissue box, and for all the details in the card recipe, please visit my brand-new blog at: http://colleen-dietrichdesigns.blogspot.com/
Thanks for looking!

Ooooh, this is so pretty Blondzi!! I LOVE all the stamping. The bella toile b/g stamp is one of my faves and I love the baroque motifs and Abundant Joy sets. Your flower looks amazing and really pops! You did an incredible job!! TFS!!

Oooooh Blondzi!!! So pretty. Love it all! I have looked at Kleenex boxes a few times thinking they'd be great inspiration for a card. You took it to the next level and actually did it! Since I don't see a whole lot of punchin' goin' on here, I count the fussy-cut flower 'cuz that's way harder than punchin' out a flower! RYPH (and keep your scissors sharp!)

Great use of these sets - I don't have any of them but wish I did! It is so cool when you can take something you see in everyday life and translate it into such a beautiful card.

Wow! Like Lesley, I think you've made us realize we should really take a second look at everything. I checked out your blog on this one and you really nailed that tissue box. Outstanding work and a beautiful card.

Very cool! I have several of these tissue boxes around the house and when I saw the thumbnail of your card that's what it reminded me of. When I clicked to read your description I chuckled to see that's what inspired you.

Wow this is pretty. I like that you got your inspiration from a tissue box. How cool. I just took a look at the one next to me - not very inspiring!! Gorgeous colors on the flowers.
