Lookie what I got my hands on!!! Some Motivet images!!! My good friend Ila recently sent me a whole envelope full of fun images & this was one of them!! Click on Ila's name to get to her fabulous blog....although if you don't know who Ila is, or have never been to her blog, you have clearly been living in a cave!
It took me a while to decide which to use first!! But I knew I wanted to use one of my new Basic Grey pads so I picked this Doraline.....I knew she would fit well with some of the Junebug papers. I colored her with Prismas & gamsol & used my Blossom Nesties to cut her out (new purchase from LSS....it's ok....I had a coupon!! LOL!!). I used SU's Wild Wasabi for the matte, my Martha Lattice punch on the polka dot paper, & added some white tulle. I also used a bit of Shimmerz on the green Prima but as usual I couldn't get a good picture of the shimmer.
Here's a close up of Doraline.....I also don't think I captured the glitter on her shirt....sigh....I will never be an A-1 photographer! LOL!
Here's a picture of the inside, carrying through some of the elements from the front.
As you know I list my cards on Ebay, so not only do I always finish off my insides, I also make my own envelopes. My cards usually have a lot of embellishments & layers on them, so I usually make an envelo-box, which is a 1/4" thick envelope. Less smooshing that way!! I use the Enveloper, which I highly recommend!! You can see this contraption HERE. It takes me mere minutes to put one together. Cut your paper, score on the lines, & glue it together!! I always line mine with papers to match the card. Then I use an envelope glue on the flap, & voila.....all ready for Ebay!!
Tomorrow is Michael's birthday....my baby turns 7!! To celebrate, I think I will take them to see Harry Potter. I refused to go the first week....but I'm sure by now the hype has died at least a bit! I'm not a Harry fan, but both my kids are & they are so excited to see it!!
Thanks for visiting & have a great night!!
