I've posted many
male cards - and
confirmation cards - lately, but what can I say - it's
the season:) I've used brown and beige colors for this book card. The image, from North Star Stamps, has been stamped directly on a DP from Authentique, and it's been
heat embossed with brown embossing powder. The background paper is from
Maja Designs. I've used a leftover to make the frame using a
die from my new favorite set - the Timeless Rectangles from
Spellbinders. I've used brown paper to make the back of the book, I
scored some lines to make it look like a good old one, and I used the
same paper to decorate the corners on the book cover's front. The
butterflies are cut out from a DP from Kort & Godt. To close the
book I added brown organza. The inside has been decorated with a DP
printed with confirmation sentiments. I used a die cut which was part of
a candy I received from
Shirley-Anne, and I heat embossed a confirmation greeting on it. All edges have been distressed with walnut Distress Ink.
This card is for these challenges:
