Birthday Wishes

I stamp every Friday with my stamping buddy Glenda. When Glenda's over we try new techniques, get cards done and just plain have fun! So for her birthday I made a twisted easel card on top of a drawer box. I'd never done a twisted easel before but Glenda is a master at them (She made one with my favourite digi's Doodle Pantry Ants!)
For Glenda's card/box I used Doodle Pantry's Holy Land Flowers 3, which I printed off twice to cut out and pop up. You can see the box is slightly open in the photo above, unfortunately I didn't get a good photo of the open box. There is a tutorial at Splitcoaststampers.
The background paper is wallpaper and I used Whimsy vine as my flourish. 
The wallpaper adds so much texture IRL. Here's a close up of the sentiment. Glenda's birthday has passed but I'll say it anyway, Happy Birthday Glenda!

I've entered this into:
Scrap-Creations: Pearls and Ribbon
Paper Sundaes: Feminine Flair
Little Miss Muffet Challenge: easel, shaped or step card

Stamps: Doodle Pantry Holy Land Flowers 3, computer generated sentiment
Paper: early espresso, soft suede, whisper white, wallpaper
Ink: summer sun
Other: prisma markers, whimsy vine, pearls, EK success flowers, spellbinders label 15, ribbon, rhinestones
