My first Tea-light card

This type of project has been on my 'to try' list for a while now,
and boy was it fun to make when I finally got round to giving it a go!
I am really happy with the result too.
It is a first but definatly not the last :OD

View from the front.
*
The stamp says
'Congratulations on your Birthday'




View from the side/back.
*


View from behind.
*
The stamp says
'Go with confidence in the direction of your dreams,
live the life you have imagined'.


Inside.
*
Pocket to the left with a message tag,
Pocket to the right to hold 6 tealights
(I chose ones in a light blue colour, with a sent of fresh cotton...Yummy!)
The text stamp inside reads ' Hug to you'.


The spine.
*
A little detail of a copper heart attached with a copper jump ring.
I am LOVING the thick velvet ribbon with the loop details from Bikubben.
*
The beautiful design Papers are from Maja Design, trinkets from Minne Hjørne,
Text stamps from Stempelglede
(a gift from wenche, and I am so pleased with them! Thanks honey).
I have used pink and blue coloured pencil to colour the details on the stamps.
*
Cardstock Bazzil Biscuit (?), flowers from Story Teller, edge punch 'doily' from Martha Stewart.
The whole project is distressed along the edges with sandpaper and a nail file,
then Distressed with Tim Holtz - Vintage photo

Measurements taken from here

I am entering this project for the following challenges:

  15. This is stunning Nina. Your makes are all so special!
    You asked about the intricate work on the front of the cards on a recent post of mine. Actually the paper comes like that. it is the new Papermania Birdsong collection. You get 5 sheets, different colours and they all have the same intricate cut out on them
    They are great aren't they?
