I thought so.
Well luckily I didn't have long to think about it so I just had to go with simple. I'm fairly pleased with the outcome, it's no masterpiece, but it passed the husband test. The card blank is from a pack of Papermania Kraft cards, I am so pleased I found these, they are just gorgeous. The knot is again the immovable knot from Simplicity. if you haven't tried this technique yet, then go do it now.
seriously what are you waiting for? It's amazing.
it's okay, I'll wait while you go...
dum de dum.
meanwhile, I also needed a present.
of course it has to be an Amazon Voucher. SO I made another of my scroll boxes. But this time I kept it really simple. The folded tag is made from some of the offcut from making the box and is perfect for holding the tie closure in place.The immovable knot is one of my favourite techniques at the moment so I am entering this for the lots to do challenge
