Another Gift Box/Bag Combo

Perhaps I've been in a gift-giving mood (because who doesn't love making someone smile?).  Here's another fun gift box and bag--I really wanted to try my hand at the build-a-boquet die and make a statement with sophisticated colors.  Successful?  I would say so.

 

Project Life 'Hi' Card

I am absolutely in love with the new Project Life by Stampin' Up! line. 
If you saw my previous post, Engagement Digital Scrapbook Page, I mentioned that I used the Everyday Adventure brush set from the digital download.  Today's project uses a card from the Everyday Adventure set, in paper rather than digital format.  I love working hands on with projects, not just digital--and Project Life is great for quick scrapbook pages using the pocket-page format.
HOWEVER, I can also see a number of uses for the Project Life line outside of scrapbook pages.  I wanted this card to be fun to look at (and to make!) and be something that could be given for any purpose.
I started with one of the small Project Life cards--a blue one that says HI.  The ombre watercolor effect was super easy to achieve with the new Work of Art stamp set from the 2014-15 catalog and various shades of yellow ink.

I really like how this turned out, and I would love to hear the unique ideas you have come up with for using Project Life cards and accessories!
