Saturday Sketch Card: photo card

Here another card with a photo my friend has send me.

Of course for today I looked for a sketch i could use

and I found it on the Retro Sketch Blog.

For the background I used some papers from my 

scrap blocks.I cut the picture and the layer with

some photo spellbinder dies.

The shell is a stamp by Michael Strong and is first embossed it

with silver embossing powder. This stamp also has a matching die.

First cut the die out of a piece of scrap paper and lay this on top 

of the stamped image. Mark the dotswith a pen.

Then lay the die on top of the image and make sure

the tine dots match the dots on the sides of the die.

The use your cutting machine and this is the result.

Here the inside of the card.

I added another shell and a plain one stamped with 

Mike's paisley background stamp.

The sentiment on this card is digitaland printed

with the computer.

Thank you for visiting my blog.
