Easter Card and Box Making!

Card and box in background 

This evenings post is the finished Easter card and box that I have been working on all week the remnants of which where on yesterdays post. Me and maths unfortunately don't work well together hence my dislike of box making...and why I left this till last!...I have to date not ever got it right first time and have always had to remake at least half the box if not the entire one at least twice!...I like decorating them; just not making them!...I am considering getting the husband involved and sub contracting the box making to him...for a nominal fee of course...a cup of tea I was thinking!...and maybe I will stretch to a chocolate biscuit too...it might just work. will try that next time I need one and keep you posted if it works :-).This card is the most elaborate and largest I made; most of the cards I make are square and its only occasionally I will do one this large...they always seem quite daunting and a very big space to decorate. the others are more simple and smaller...I went to town on the die cuts an embellishments it is for dear family friend and I'm hopeful she will like it .
