New Card and more on Tickets

First the ticket stuff - as I was adding them to a couple of cards that will go in the mail today (just loose inside the cards), I got the idea to make tiny envelopes for them! Oh, so cute! Learned how to make an envelope from (of course) youtube! The video is called "making an envelope" and is done by boknstet back in 2010. In case you are wondering, I save these to my favorites so I can find them again! There is no measuring with this one and nothing real exact so its perfect for the tiny envelopes. Then I punched out a tiny heart and glued it on the front of the envelope. Cute!! Told you I was using those tickets! I cut a whole bunch of them out. Found two cricut carts that have them - carnival and fabulous finds. There maybe more but I don't need to look as I have both. So here's my get well card for one of my very best buds who is hopefully on the mend.

The top photo is the outside of the card, while this one is the inside of the card. Guess I am back to using ribbon and flowers! I have responded to quite a few people asking which copics I use for what this time. The copics I used are: V12, V15, V17, R22, YG13, YG17, hair is Y21, Y26, Y28, YR23, skin is E00, E11, R20. I matched my colors to the patterned paper which shows best on the inside of the card. The blue you see is Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress ink. I did want the splotchy look so I just put it here and there. Edging is done with concord crush (the one from the fall collection). The image is CC designs, used my new spellbinders ribbon die. There's a gem on the bow. Do you have a bow easy? That is how I make a separate bow in lots of different sizes. They aren't very expensive (like less than $5 I think) and let you do things like this one - that is one sided ribbon. I just finished a scrapbook page so that makes 3 from our trip to Vancouver awhile back. Just have to figure out how to cover faces so I can post them as I am super happy with the way they came out. DH is a big one on privacy so I sure don't want to show his face worldwide!! Although I think he is really gorgeous! Hope you enjoy the cards! Hugs to you all, Barb F

Must've missed a post last time, so I also commented about your fantastic tickets. The envelope idea is great, too.
