My Project for today is a Card I made.
This card was made with an INKADINKADO stamp and Tinsle Gold embossing powder by Ranger.
I mounted the stamped image on Green Card stock.
I decided to emboss the greeting inside with the same Gold Tinsel Embossing Powder. I combined two stamps to make this greeting.
I decided to add the manger scene at the bottom of the inside of the card so it wasn't so blank.
I used the same patterned paper for the front cover as I did for layering behind the greeting inside. I added the plaid ribbon and bow to the front.
I added the angel with some foam tape and embossed the Peace on Earth greeting stamp from Anna Bee Designs Joy to The World stamps set. Thanks for hopping by make sure you hop on over to Tammy's Blog to see what she's made for you today.
The lay out I'm sharing today is from my High School Graduation.
My high school mascot was a Panther so I found a paw print punch in my stash so I punched around the edge of the back card stock cut at 8.25X10.75".
I layered the black card stock on some white Card stock and then layered some blue paper I stamped with a swirl stamp in blue StazOn ink.
I used the Cuttin Up Cricut Cartridge to cut the letters and the shadows
This is the picture of our Graduating class. I went to a small Christian School. I mounted the photo to a white photo mat and journaled around the photo.
This is me walking into Graduation. I mounted this on a white photo mat to match the other one.
This is my final 2 page lay out. I choose to journal on a black piece of card stock with a white gel pen and mounted that on a white mat layer. Thanks so much for stopping by please come back again soon~ Carla
