fortunate!

ok, i know i've shown the fabric fortune cookies before, but i'm still TOTALLY in love with them, so here's the latest version:




i've used the same (rather brilliant!) tutorial from lady harvatine's blog but this time i made the cookie just a bit smaller (3.5" diameter) to fit in one of the small plastic "chinese takeout" boxes i got from oriental trading company. i made the decorative panels for the box in printshop using a dingbat font and a couple of digital brushes, and cut it out with a nestabilities labels die. the little dragons i found on a free clip art site (via google image search) and the chinese coin and ribbon are from my stash. the fortune inside the cookie reads, "you will have a very happy birthday!" and i hope that when my uncle receives it he will do just that! ♥

    I am working my way up to feeling brave enough to make one of these.

    Although obviously without the funky, pimped-up take-out box
