A card to honor my sister because she lives so far away.
Card size: 5.5" tall x 4.25" wide
Front Image: Two girls with linked arms
Front Sentiment: "Sister"
Inside Sentiment: "There is no better friend than a sister. And there is no better sister than you."
I created the base card from red cardstock and scored it at the top so that the card opens from the bottom. I layered the top panel with light blue cardstock and followed that with yellow cardstock and a printed paper reflecting my color scheme.
For the focal point of the card I stamped an image of two girls with linked arms on white cardstock and colored it using colored pencils and gamsol. As a finishing touch I cut the image panel into a unique shape and matted it on red cardstock.
To enhance the front panel I added a white grosgrain ribbon and topped it off with the word “sister” that I punched from red cardstock. I also created a sassy multi-layered hydrangea blossom using the red and yellow cardstocks along with the patterned paper.
For the inside of the card I printed the message "There is no better friend than a sister. And there is no better sister than you." on white cardstock. I embellished this panel with a strip of the patterned paper matted with light blue cardstock.
I also made an envelope from heavy cover stock to compliment the card and embellished it with a strip of the patterned paper down the left edge.
