The Kraft Journal Challenge #34

     For this week's Celebration challenge at The Kraft Journal I decided to try making one of the cute little pizza box gift boxes I saw at Splitcoast Stampers.  I used a sheet of Brown Kraft Cover Weight cardstock to create the box.  It was then stamped with that pretty doily stamp and embossed in white.  I used some My Mind's Eye designer paper and threaded some white ribbon around the box to dress it up.

     For the inside of the box I lined the lid with some more of the My Mind's Eye paper and did the bottom in Buff Ivory Cover Weight cardstock.  Perfect size for a couple of yummy cookies!

     The matching card is just a simple little card made with more of the Brown Kraft and My Mind's Eye.  For the image I decided to try out the new coloring technique everybodys trying where you print or stamp your image out in a light color instead of the regular black.  I love the vintage look of this, but I definitely would have made her hair lighter.  I couldn't get it to look right so added more ink and then Prismacolor pencil and it just came out too dark for my liking.  I probably could have printed the image out a tad lighter too to actually be doing the technique correctly, but other that her hair I liked the look of it.  I wrapped the image and mat with some Green Baker's Twine and added a button.

     This would make a cute little quick gift for a co-worker or to pop in that special someones lunch box.  :-)
