Christmas in Lavendar & Lace & Flowers

With Christmas fast approaching, I've been busy creating not just cards, but also gifts, packaging and decorations. 

Here's a little something I made, using non-traditional Christmas colors.  How about this lovely lavendar & lace & flowers gift?
The lavendar rose is handmade & sits so prettily upon a paper doiley, which is mounted on lavendar pieces cut with oval & scalloped oval nesties. I embossed the background paper with my favorite embossing folder "swiss dots," then added some very decadent lace which I bought from Wild Orchid Crafts. There's just a small touch of bling onto the lace, in which I added small purple rhinestones.

Remove the "flowered sleeve" ....

Ooooh.... there's more!

Aha!  A shutter card!

And look - there's a little surprise!  A yummy chocolate bar!
Now isn't this a lavish presentation?    

I've entered this project in the following challenges:

The Shabby Tea Room Challenge #35 - Lavendar and Lace
Crafty Card Makers - Spotlight Dry Embossing
Paper Play Challenge #45: Ribbon, Lace and Flowers
