WOJ- Strawberries and cream- Henry Hugs gift box

3:00 AM | Posted by Chris Olsen, Glowbug | | Edit Post

Happy Hump Day Everyone!! I hope you are all having a great week!! Today it is time for another fun Whiff of Joy Challenge!!! This week's challenge is a fun one: "Strawberries and cream"!!!

When I think of Strawberries and cream, I think of red or pink, and a very vanilla color....so this is what I came up with...I decided to make a cheer up or thinking of you gift set for a friend.

I used the adorable Henry Hugging Heart from Whiff of Joy which I colored with copics. The designer paper is Prima English Rose. I added some Making Memories pink gingham ribbon (tied with the bow easy) and some lace. The mouse is layered on a Spellbinders Lacey circles. The sentiment in the pocket is cut out with a spellbinders heart. The sentiment is from Our Daily Bread Designs Mini Tags 3

This gift box is my own design and does not follow a template...

For more inspiration for the Whiff Of Joy Challenge, please visit my dt sisters:
Anne , Chelsea, Gio, Jane, Kathrin, Kylie, Louise, Manuela. Michele To join our challenge, please link your creation here.
