It's all about me...Challenge! {post 2 for today}

Another challange over at SCS Limited supplies had me inspired as well. I don't know if this kind of "gift" gift card has already been done (???), but I thought that this presentation of a gift card would be fun.

I made a gift card holder and then added a "lid" and belly band to make it look like a present.

This is what the "gift" looks like with the belly band removed:

 

And here is a photo with the gift card holder open and one taken from the side.

I used Technique Tuesday Cling Stamps to stamp the flourish pattern on the cardstock using brown Stazon ink, brown twill ribbon and paper roses.

Hope you all have a great day.

Vintage thank you

Hi

This is my card for the Ways to use it challenge on SCS for this week. The challnege was to make a vintage card using any epherema we had laying about.

I decided to use some old ribbon and lace bought at a thrift store many years ago (still in my bear making days). As I did not have any old tickets etc, I decided to use a 7 Gypsies tag. I inked all the edges with dark brown ink to give the card an old world feel and added the burnt orange flower to add a touch of color.

 

                                        

This was the first time I have used my sewing machine on a card and I loved it.

I really enjoyed this challenge. TFL Paola
