A very special birthday

Just a short post to publish this project. I made this card a while ago for a very special friend, Edgardo. I mailed this card for his birthday. He loves and treasures it.

Front view:
   
             Detail of stamp:                                                                                                                           Detail of tag:




















Inside of card with gift card in envelope:

This card was created using digital image from: Bugaboo Digi Stamp and sentiment "Gus Birthday - Recount"; Paper: DP: Nikki Sivils "Something for Everyone"; eyeglass effect: Glossy Accents; paper distressed with Tim Holt's distressed inks. Cardstock and ribbon are from my stash. Gift card envelope and tag are my creation. This image was stamped with Memento ink and colored with copic markers.

    What a fun image and perfect for our challenge this month at CBGM. One of the criteria for the challenge is to be a follower of Gill's blog and I can't see it listed anywhere so perhaps you'd like to rectify that as we'd love to have you in with a chance:)

    I like the idea of the inside tag - so different. Thanks so much for joining in with us this week for our Sketch Challenge at Catch The Bug with Bugaboo Stamps and making it a success. It’s great seeing how different people interpret the same layout.
