Hoera! - Hurray!

Hi all!

How are you all doing? Enjoying crafting things, just like me?
I made a giftbox for a friend of mine, who celebrated her birthday yesterday, and this was my gift for her.

This is the top of the box, here is a view from a slightly different angle.

I was playing around on YouTube the other day, and on the Saturated Canary Channel I found a giftbox tutorial. I adjusted the sizes a bit, and made my own. I love how it turned out!

The image is one of my favorites, she is called Nevaeh, by Saturated Canary, isn't she adorable? She is colored with my Copics again, and I went a bit out of my comfort zone this time by coloring her hair PINK!! Never tried this before, but I like how it turned out. I used the following markers to color her.
Skin: E000, E00, E02, R20 (Yup that is new combo!)
Hair: RV69, RV29, RV34, RV21
Dress: W00, W0, W2, W5 and YG91 and YG95

The big shape behind Nevaeh is by NoorDesign, and the swirl is made with a Creatables die. I used Distress Ink Brushed Corduroy on them.I also used some flowers from my stash. I think flowers are my favorite embellishments, I use them on almost every project!

This stamp is also from a NoorDesign set, it is in Dutch and it says Hurray, another year older!
The die is by NoorDesign (again) and the ribbon is from my stash. I inked the edges from the diecut with the same Brushed Corduroy Distress ink.

I decorated the inside too, the papers I used are by Kaiserkraft, Hey Birdie collection. The stamp I used on the inside is also by NoorDesign, but it is from another set as the stamp on the front. I also cut a scalloped circle with my Nestabilities.

That was it for today, I hope you like it!
