Good evening all my blogging buddies! I received an email today from my nearest and dearest friend, Jennifer, demanding requesting that I add another post to my somewhat neglected new blog. Then she proceeded to send me pictures she had taken of cards I have made. How, umm, thoughtful?
So here is a gift set I made for my son's teacher at the beginning of the school year.
I used Tilda with Curls colored with SU reinkers. The ribbon is from my stash and the pearl brad is American Crafts Elements. I cut apart a Prima Pearls and Swirls for the bling.
I'm not sure why Tilda looks so washed out but I did use a flesh tone to color her! I also used Stickles and Crystal Effects for her shoes and roses.
The flowers are Prima with a die from SU for the leaves. The red rose was white but it didn't match very well so I used my SU reinkers to color it. I dry embossed all the dps for a little more texture...and because it's just a fun effect!
I finished off the inside of my card with the saying, "A teacher effects eternity, he can never know where his influence stops" ~Henry Adams. (And yes, Jennifer obviously took the pictures AFTER we signed the card. How embarrassing!) :o)
The gift box I decorated for the card.
The inside of the box with the card wrapped up all nice and pretty!
Last but not least, the altered tin I made and filled with all sorts of yummy chocolates for my son's AMAZING teacher!
I apologize for the ridiculously long post. Thanks for sticking it out! Until next time...
:o)
Cassy
