70th pop up box card

Good Sunday afternoon everyone. Hope you are enjoying your day.
 The weather has been glorious here. 
Yesterday me & hubby went to Portobello Road, they did predict rain, but we had none. Ended up buying myself a new dress, shoes and hubby bought me a lovely glass locket with sea pearls and turquoise stones. We got a fab deal, bartered the women down and was pleased as punch with what we paid. 

Today I am going to show you a commissioned card that a work colleague wanted for a friend of hers.
She just gave me the colour combo, age & name.

                                                                     





I got carried away with decorating the box card and it ended up not fitting the envelope! Good job I know how to make my own boxes, lol.
