Buff coloured leather effect card


Good morning blogland, some fabulous card on offer this week over at Papermilldirect, another leather embossed card in a fabulous buff colour.


I couldn't wait to use this card.  As we are heading towards the end of the school year I chose to make a "Thank You " card and school satchel gift bag to thank a special teacher.



The satchel was a free download from www.card-making-downloads.com and is a template designed by All About You.  I cut out the template and used my sewing machine to stitch round the edges before sticking the pieces together.  The buckles were die cut using a Sizzix die.  The edges of the satchel were brushed with a little antique photo distress ink.

The card was made with Papermilldirect smooth ivory card, post box red, teal, orange, fresh green and of course the wonderful buff leather embossed offer card.  I made a clipboard,  added some torn paper with scribbles and an A+ and added a circle and a star.  I used the slip in pocket from the satchel for the greeting and cut out the arrows in the different coloured cards using a Tim Holtz die.  Using a Memory Box stencil and faded jeans distress ink I created the inks splats and edged the card with vintage photo distress ink.  The clipboard and embellishments were then fixed to the card.
