For the lack of a 'creative' title, let's just go with Granny.
The card measures 5.5" x 5.5".
What was needed for this order was a card with an image depicting a bent woman with a walking stick and a callout (thought bubble) saying,"Aaah. My back! I can't have class today." It was for my housemate's colleague and friend who they tease as a manang.
My drawing skills suck, but I had to have an image. I found this cute digital stamp online and used it on this card. I forgot about the long curly hair before penning the drawing lines so the image looked a mess. I couldn't do it all over. I just stuck with it.
The edges of the card base and the main patterned paper as well as the second patterned paper were distressed and inked. I should have done the same thing to the image, but I don't know what I was thinking or if I was actually thinking at the time when I glued it down onto the black die cut. Man the focal point looked so clean. It should have been distressed! Gah. I should try to remember to do this next time.
I affixed some crystals and pearls here and there for added effect.
For the inside of the card, since 5 sheets were needed for the messages, I added the upper and lower panels of the card to the count. I only had to insert three sheets of paper through a thin band I made using a border edge punch to complete the five.
I thought I still have some left of a particular wrapping paper I bought from Papemelroti a few years back, but I didn't. I had no other option but to use one of the envelopes I made for Miss Karen's wedding invitation. It was the perfect size for the square card. I placed a piece of round clear vinyl sticker inside the envelope before packing the card to seal the envelope after they finish writing the messages. I no longer added any crystal inside the card so as not to make a certain mark on the paper.
That was that. It was another fun project. Thank you for looking. Have a wonderful day!
