I started making this gift card box for my friend Debbie last night. Not realizing it was going to be for a challenge. When I saw today WT challenge I used a wired ribbon and made a handle for the gift box. Voila a WT challenge....
The set I used for this box is the Essence of Love set.
The colors are Old Olive, More Mustard, Barely Banana and some matching DP.
The images on the cards and box are stamped in Old Olive but the sentiment in in Versafine Onyx Black. I also sponged the edges with Old Olive.
The butterfly was done in the Old Olive also and then stickled all over. to finish of the cards and box I added some cording in a Olive tone color.
For the handle I took some wide wired ribbon and just twirled it and attached it with some pretty matching brads.

what a great gift set! love the idea of a wire ribbon handle--I have used ribbon before for my handles but I don't like that they just hand down--not with wired ribbon!! THanks for the inspiration!!

I'm in awe with a sense of wonderment ... your bag and your card are so amazingly beautiful! Your papers are truly gorgeous and your image and sponging are extraordinary! Oh, how I wish I was Debbie. This lucky lady has no idea what a wonderful delight awaits her. Now, should the two of you not be able to get together, I could always accept this on her behalf - isnt that what SCSers are here for? Totally magnificent card and bag.
