Unscripted Sketches #255 / Happy mothers day gift card

Saturday May 3, 2014
 
Unscripted Sketches #255  challenge, use the sketch below and make your card, scrapbook page or project and link to the Unscripted Sketch blog.
 
 
This is the card I made for the challenge. I decided to make a gift card - card. I had this envelope from ???? and I kept moving it around my desk and thought wow this would work out perfect for a gift card holder. I also found this negative part of a die and liked the look. I used clear embossing powder and embossed the leaves to give the background on the pink a designer look. I am loving how quick and easy this card was to make and things I found on my desk. Same with the twine it was just picking out from the pile of paper scraps I had on my desk. I don't have this size on a spool so not even sure where it came from either.. Any how this card probably took me under 10 min but looks like I took a lot of time to make.

    Great use of the bag to create the middle element of your card. Very cute idea. Thanks for playing along with us at Cuttin' and Stampin' this week.
