Gift Card Holder

The Try a New Technique challenge on SCS yesterday was a great little pop-up gift card holder - so easy!! A few quick folds and you have the perfect way to present a gift card! I thought Angel Wings Sophia would make a pretty gift giver and especially paired with this pretty Holly dp from Crate Paper.

I embossed Angel Wings with Gold Detail EP onto Mellow Moss cardstock and then used bleach in an Aquapainter to bleach out most of the image (I didn't bleach her dress). I then colored the image using Copic markers and added some MS Corrara Marble glitter to her wings and the bottom of her dress. The sentiment is available as a single (Merry & Bright) from Paper Pretties and was also embossed using Gold ep. I tied on some beautiful Cream Crushed Velvet Ribbon to finish it up!

Cardstock: Mellow Moss, Watercolor paper (SU!), Patterned Paper: Holly collection (Crate Paper), Stamps: Angel Wings, Merry & Bright (Paper Pretties), Ink: Versamark, Accessories: Brads, Nestabilities, Dimensionals, Corrara Marble glitter (MS), Circle punches, Gold Detail EP (SU!), Bleach, Copic Markers, Cream Velvet Ribbon (Maya Road)
