Wild Orchid Challenge 15 - Let's get Sentimental

This easel card was made for my best friend Jo's Birthday.  Inside the small box, was enclosed a lottery ticket, unfortunately it wasn't a winner !!  Flowers used are coloured with silkies, glossy accent used on the backing papers, and distressed inks.   She loved her card, and has pride of place on the mantelpiece x
