It's in the Bag! or Box!



My entry for Art Impressions Challenge 97 -

 "It's in the Bag! or Box!" 

Image "Edith" by Art Impression 
Text "Still sizzlin'" by Art Impression
Colored with Prismacolor pencils
Sizzix Bigz Die "Takeout Box"
Oval dies by Spellbinders
Happy Birthday text cut out with Cricut Calligraphy collection

I had a lot of fun creating Edith's take-out gift box. 
I'm just sorry you can't see from the photo how the brocade 
cardstock glistens and can't see her "bling."
