Tim Times Ten Grand Give-A-Way Challenge: Day Six

Tim Times Ten Grand Give-A-Way Challenge: Day Six


Today's challenge is for you to make a gift card holder tag. The gift card pocket must have at least 2 of it's corners punched with a corner punch. You must show in your picture the "card" in the pocket. The tag must contain at least 3 handmade flowers (meaning no Primas or other pre-made flowers -- you must make the flowers yourself with paper/scissors/glue), a sentiment, and the background of the tag must be inked -- not covered with paper. You may use Color Wash or other spray type ink, or pull out your stamp pads and sponges. The inking technique for the tag background is your choice; however, the background must be created using only ink.

Each challenge is a great opportunity for practicing those things you learn how to do and then completely put away and never use again. I love this!

Here is the Gift Card Holder Tag I made:


The flowers I used are pretty easy to make and I have a little tutorial on my blog, please follow this link.
For the tag background I used some sponging and dry brush technique.  The inks used: Martha Stewart, Palette Hybrid Ink and Color Box.



For the gift card holder I used a corner punch by Fiskars.
The sentiment is a stamp by UNITY.
