Hi! This is my version of the gift card holder for the Technique Challenge over at SCS today. I combined it with the sketch from My Favorite Things Monday Sketch Challenge. I stamped the image from Hot Stuff onto watercolor paper and colored it with classic stamp pads (cocoa, chocolate chip, baroque burgandy, eggplant envy) and a blender pen. The background might look familiar to you, it was a discard from my previous card, but was perfect for this one. I hate to waste paper:) The brad on the paper strip was covered with sticky strip and then dipped into the micro beads, again I had done that for my previous card but couldn't find a place to put it yesterday, but it found a home today. The paper clip was in a package I picked up at the Target $1 spot a couple of months ago. I removed the decorative circle sticker from the top and added sticky tape and then micro beads to coordinate. The flower was just because. I needed the paper clip because I couldn't figure out how to keep the holder closed.
I will hopefully have a watercoloring tutorial by Friday. Happy Monday everyone!
Thanks for stamping by!

I LOVE my card Laura. Thank you soooo much. My own personalized Laura original. I was super-excited when I realized what it was. Thank you!!!
WOW--this is SOOO PRETTY! Love the swirly embossed part on the top and your colors are fabulous. I haven't tried one of these yet--guess I don't really give many gc's, so if I DO, I'll prolly wait til I have a specific person to make it for. But anyway, this is very lovely :D
I really liked your card today! I have been enjoying your blog alot and look forward to seeing posts from you in the future.
Hey!
Your blog is wonderful! Thanks for sharing..............
This is just beautiful Laura!! Love your colors!!
Hi again Laura!
Thanks for the sweet comments :D That's so cool that you and your mom made cakes together!! I WISH I didn't have carpul tunnel syndrome in my right wrist, otherwise I would still be actively making them and taking classes. It was a passion of mine. Anyway, you're very sweet for stopping by and dropping a comment. Have a great week!
