Four challenges in one little gift card holder! Woo!
This started out for Kim's VSN challenge to make a card with a musical theme. I used the sheet music DP for the BG and found the stamp that said "Silent Night". From there I chose to hand letter "all is calm, all is bright" on the inside. I've recently taken up practicing my hand lettering with different markers. These are the first ones I tried--Crayola Super Tips. Very inexpensive, but by changing the angle of the marker you can get a pretty cool brush calligraphy look.
Kelly's technique challenge yesterday was to create a gift card holder and I needed one for my mailman. It was very fun and easy to make.
Maura's colors today were absolutely perfect for this gift card holder. I also think this fits perfectly with Kelli's CAS challenge of "Peace on Earth" from yesterday--if a gift card holder can be CAS? I think so, I kept it pretty simple.
I love it when a plan comes together ;-)

I absolutely love this, especially the front of it!! Awesome!! I made a couple of them, and am concerned that the gift cards I get will be too large to fit in there. You know the generic dollar amount kind...

Love, love, LOVE the gold embossing! And this classic hymn is one of my favorites. You incorporated many lovely elements, and your mailman will be thrilled! Thanks for playing along with my challenge!
