 I also made a card to go inside and used my notch punch to hold the gift card in place.

I decided to make this second card using the same image, but on white cardstock.  The design papers are from last year's paper collection, Believe{Recollection}.  I used a Sizzix die, Christmas tree #2 and trimmed the bottom of the tree.  The paper is the Whitewash Colorcore{Core'dinations} and ran it through with the swiss dot embossing folder.  To bring out the green cardstock, I sanded the paper a few times.

I had bought this mini chalkboard easel at Michael's a while back to alter.  I painted the easel with Martha Stewart Satin paint in Hydrangea Purple.  I don't use the color purple very often on my projects, but I really like this shade.  All the die cuts are Magnolia Doohickey dies.  I just love this paper collection...adorable designs and soft shades of summer is how I would describe the colors in this collection.  I used the left over scraps from a project I just finished putting together.  I can't wait to show you...it's part of my new addiction/obsession. Ü  I will post that real soon.

We have another sketch challenge at Stamptacular Sunday!  Feel free to flip it, rotate it around, or put your own spin....use your creativity!  We would love for you to play along with us!  The sponsor for this week is our very own Priscilla! 

Here's my take on this week's sketch...

 For the image, I paper pieced her kimono, lantern, and her headpiece from the paper pad.  The lantern die is perfect for this card...I colored the string with my Copics and left the lanterns white.
