New WOJ spring kit and Paprtake Weekly challenge

I got my WOJ spring kit yesterday, and yes they were inked up immediately!! Don't they look gorgeous! Here's a peek Ali, just for you!!I have used three of the stamps for this card and have done some masking to position them all. I'm really pleased with the masking as I am usually rubbish at it (Thanks Samantha for the tutorial!)
The Papertake Weekly challenge is to make a set of something, card and tag, box and card/tag etc. I have made a card and pillow box (to be filled with heart shaped chocs) for a couple of friends who have got engaged. The two images look quite like them, so it was an excuse to use them.
The layout of the card is quite simple as the image is big! I used the red heart from the folded heart template (used on the pillow box) to pop over the top of the card. I made the folded heart (thanks again Samantha for the template) to put on the pillow box to hold the tag. I edged the heart in Brilliance Starlight black.
Not too much detail as they aren't a very fussy couple, but Nancy does like a bit of pink!
My little one Ellie is gutted as she has set her heart on marrying Nick when she grows up!!
Well I am off to clean the bedrooms - the girls are still at the grandparents so its a sort and sling clean!! Then crafting!!!!
Still not managed to get a lie in though as the cat is resolutely refusing to use the cat flap unassisted! So I had to get up and let her out at 7.30!!
Recipe:
Stamp(s): WOJ Spring kit 2009; PB Salutations
Colouring Media: Distress inks
Papers: Basic Grey Urban Prairie
Embellishments: Tags cu from sizzix die, ribbons from stash, heart from template
