Birthday duo

Elizabeth and I have been crafting together again. Today we made a card and gift box for my mom’s birthday (which is today).  She asked for a gift card to Bed, Bath & Beyond – because she wants to buy new cookware.  After we fashioned the gift card holder, we made a card. We decided to do telescoping layers and we had some “assistance” when putting everything together (baby brother) so the middle layer doesn’t line up exactly. We ask you to not look too closely.{wink}  Since my Mom’s favorite color is red, we used Pure Poppy – the photo doesn’t do the color justice. It is simply the most beautiful, rich red. 

We embossed everything, including the layer stamped in Pure Poppy (newest formulation). The medallion was layered with Versamark and then Pure Poppy, stamped and embossed with clear embossing powder.
