challenge 32 - gift card holder

well, i was finally able to create the gift card holder for the 'christmas in july' challenge at pixie dust studio. whew.

my first attempt, (as you may know), was a flop and i ended up tossing it into the land of misfit scraps. this attempt came out better. i believe. at least it's done! :)

and i can never resist using a gnome! this one is just too cute!

here is the front (with the gift card pulled out):




here is the back:



i used a toilet paper roll as the holder for the gift card, and wrapped it in 2 different ribbons.



i printed out the gnome on 5 different colors of cardstock. then i cut out each different color and then glued them all together on one - it adds a tiny more dimension that way, i think. i also glittered the little hat. :)


i hope you enjoyed my 'christmas in july' gift card holder. :)
