From nougat to Darcy

I'm crazy for nougat, especially the one made with just honey and almonds, my fave! And when I found this one with a nice package, I bought, ehm, several pieces , but just to upcycle the cardstock boxes! Really! :-)
Adoro il torrone, specialmente quello sardo, fatto solo con mandorle e miele. Quindi quando ho visto questa confezione carina al supermercato, non ho resistito dal comprarne diverse scatole, giusto per riciclarle, eh?!
I started here/ Sono partita da qua

And it become this, just using the new Darcy stamps by PaperArtsy.

Molto torrone dopo, usando i nuovi timbri della Darcy per PaperArtsy:
