Make it Monday and Giveaway Winner Announced



This is my second post today.  For my "12 Kits of Christmas", please scroll down or click here.

We learned how to make a Dimensional Sentiment Banner in this week's MIM #51.  Since I was set to make a Bat Mitzvah card for a party my daughter will be going to this weekend, I used this technique for my card today.  The colors are a bit unusual for this type of card, but I tried to match the invitation.  I created my own background paper by repeatedly stamping the Torah scroll image from the Mazel Tov set in Summer Sunrise ink on Summer Sunrise paper.



Here is a peek at the inside, where I will be putting a gift card.

 



On another note, the winner of the giveaway for my extra thank you set is Pauline who said:

Oh Joyce, this is wonderful! I love the aqua colours, and the beautiful butterfly shape, just stunning!
And I am only just starting on my PTI collecting lol! So Yes I would love to be included in your fab draw! 

Pauline, please check your mailbox in a couple of days/weeks/months...however long it takes to get from San Diego to the UK.


Supplies Used (PTI):
Stamps:  Mazel Tov, Background Basics Twinkle, Tranquility Trilogy, Paper Source Mazel Tov wood stamp  
Paper:  Orange Zest, Summer Sunrise, Harvest Gold
Other:  Library Card die, Buttons, twine

    Joyce you have boundless energy. I can't believe you did another card after posting all your yummy 12 Kits of Christmas projects. This card is amazing, the background is so cool and you did a fab job on the sentiment banner. The inside pocket for the gift card is fantastic.
