It's that time of year again . . .
we all need to get our Christmas cards sorted and
what better way to do it than playing along with the
at
The prompt for Day 5 is "E"
E is for Extra thick Emu Envelope for Exciting Emu card
This Exciting Extra thick Emu Envelope is to hold the Extremely dimensional Emu card that I shared HERE. I started with a cut file for a thick envelope (details below) in Silhouette Studio. The base for this envelope is huge, the 11.87" panel just fitted within the cutting borders of my Cameo mat. I cut the base from crimson cardstock to match the poinsettias on the card. I added an emu image from the Emu Parade digital stamp set and a sentiment from the Aussie Wreath digital stamp set, both are from Beccy's Place to the liner of the envelope to add a special surprise when it's opened. I printed the image on cardstock but because it wasn't Copic marker friendly, I limited my Copic colouring to the beak, using Wink Of Stella Glitter Pens to colour the star and lights, then add a glow around them.
Here is the card with the envelope
The closed envelope is 7 1/4" wide x 5 1/4" high x 1/4" deep.
The dimensional poinsettias have plenty of space inside
and won't be crushed when the envelope is closed.
The emu and greeting inside the liner is a nice surprise
The emu and poinsettias should be an even bigger surprise
Sending Christmas Greetings to you all from Down Under . . .
