071614 CKC July Challenge #3 Create a Panel Card

Now this was something I had never heard of!
What is a panel card, you say?

Imagine opening an envelope & drawing out a stiff card with a design on the front,
only there is no flap to open for the message, at least not on the background bit.

The REAL card is attached to the center - a "mounted" card, if you will!
I have worked with artist trading cards before so this mini-canvas size held no worries for me.

Diving into my July Sweet Summer kit...


...I discovered all sorts of goodies for a birthday card
for my eldest daughter who turns 27 this month.


A chalkboard sentiment in a wooden frame, dressed up with
clothespeg & ribbon forgeries with girlie stick pins.

I had to mount the shiny turquoise paper on white
cardstock as it was too flimsy to support the central card.



Inside:



And a custom envelope to match...


...including a shiny turquoise liner & chalkboard closure detail.


Love it when I get to try new things at the Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog!

  2. A+ for taking that step further and coordinating a beautiful envelope. I too have that wood veneer frame. It has surfaced in several kits and not found it's home yet. Determined to feature it on a layout, though.
