It's Thursday and I have another entry into the Christmas in July daily challenges at Catch the Bug. They asked players to use an Oldie but Goodie, meaning anything that isn't a "new" stamp. Here's one I've had in my collection but I don't think I've ever used it.
I tried something I saw on one of the blogs I follow and found it pretty easy. It's an envelope card, meaning the image is in the very center of the envelope and the sides and top flaps all fold in to make the envelope. It's held shut with a slip-on loop but you could close it with a ribbon, too.
I colored the image with ProMarkers and water colors, then cut the image with a square die from Spellbinders. I inked the edges with a ProMarker and centered it into the envelope. I made the envelope from a leftover piece of scrapbook paper, putting the color on the inside and the white on what will be the outside when it's all folded.
Because I wanted it to be flat, I added no embellishments of any kind so this is a very CAS card design.
