As promised here is the card I made for Kelly. I stepped so far out of my box, I wasn't sure where I was. I saw a tutorial on line and said over and over in my head,I can do this. Here is the link, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASvhjIvn9PQ&feature=related Those that know me, know measuring is NOT my strong point. Actually it's no point for me. But I kept saying I can do it and I did (I won't tell you how long it took me, but I did it).Two of Kelly's most favorite things are coffee and music. So I wanted to incorporate both int he card. So I cut the coffee mug out and then I used my Tim Holtz music folder for two pieces as well. If haven't already guess Kelly's favorite color is purple. Believe or not this card fits into a normal size envelope. I tried to get a normal shot of the card, but that didn't work out so well.
Here is the card opened up in all its purple glory.
Under the 22 I used the Tim Holtz music folder and inked it up and put the #22 over it.
Here is how small the card actually is.We hope everyone has a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving!!!
happy belated b-day kel and this is a beautiful card, I know she loved it. hugs

ReplyDeleteBeautiful card. I hae shyed away form this style card too. You did such a great job on it for someone who has a hard time measuring. I am inspired to try one. Maybe a Christmas one since it fits in a normal size envie.
