Christi's Creative Crew: Artistic Etching

This was a special order card and I love how it turned out. I cased it from Vicky Wright. The technique is called FAUX PATINA. I didn't want to smoosh the flower on the front of the card so I made her an envelope that was wider, knowing that this was going to be a hand delivered card it worked out perfect for me to make a second flower and attach it to the envelope flap. Using the Simply Scored Tool with the Diagonal Plate, making an envelope is as easy as pie. (Actually easier, I don't like to make pies)

What do you think might be in this pretty little gold sack?

Here's another clue... Now what could be in this pretty red box?

This is an Eilat Stone - the stone of Israel, sometimes called "King Solomon's Stone." One of the sweet college gals from church spent a college semester there and I asked if she would pick out a ring for me. I love her choice, don't you. The stone is a mixture of green and blue.

I wanted to make something special as a thank you for her so since I knew she loved Paris I wanted to make these cute cards for her (inspired by Erica Clark). This Stamp Set called ARTISTIC ETCHINGS is now on the retired list so if this one has been on your wish list, you have until June 3 to get a set for yourself.
