Pearly Sparkles Challenge #120

Hello and welcome to my blog

This is my DT card for the new June challenge over at the Pearly Sparkles Challenge Blog. Our theme this month is This makes me Smile. The main focus of my card is some sentiments from the John Next Door's Amusing Sentiments set. I also made a box for it as it's an easel card and is going to be posted. I used the same items and a picture is at the bottom of this post.


I also used: 

8x8 Kraft card blank
Cardstock: Kraft, Pale yellow/cream, Clarity Indian Summer Parchment, Gold mirror
Dies: Crafter's Companion Let Love Grow, John Next Door Leaf Sprigs, Happy Birthday, Number die
Misc.: Gold Craft Artist Mica Magic, Tonic leaves embossing folder

I hope you like the card I've made. If you've got time it would be great if you could leave me a comment to let me know what you think of it. I would really appreciate it.
