Baby Snow's Gift Certificate...

This is a double sided card... 

Focal image "Baby Snow" was provided by Digital Delights

This first side opens to the actual card and message.

Flipped over you see the envelope attached... 

holding the gift certificate.

This was my DT creation for 613 Ave C's 

"Create Your Own Challenge"

I used: image, sentiment, embossing, button, ribbon

This Sunday's challenge will be running from Dec 7 thru Dec 13 and there are prizes from two sponsors - DIGITAL DELIGHTS & FITZTOWN.  There are some delightful projects courtesy of the DT and of course more details on the challenge at 613 Ave C! 

TECHNIQUE

[Note: specific information on supplies and sources will be found below under “Supplies”.]

• Using an SU Envelope Maker - I made two identical envelopes, one in each of the two plaid papers [one green & one red].  The green one was left open to create the 'card'.  The red was taped closed in the normal envelope configuration.  The two envelopes were adhered back to back to make the one unit.
• 'Baby Snow' was printed 4 times, colored with Copics, fussy cut and "Paper sculpted". ["Paper Tole" is the other name for this technique].  You can see the dimension here... 
• The trees were created with a Sissix Die with two layers each.  The first layer is from a paper decorated with shaving foam & blue and green ink - on top of that is a green vellum.

• On the gift side is wooden button tied with waxed linen anchoring the sentiment panel.  Edges are inked with "Forest Moss" Distress Ink.  "WISH" is die cut into what will be the Gift Certificate with a Tim Holtz' die.
