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.

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!
A beautiful card Leslie :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card I do agree :) I think this is a wonderful use of glitter paper too :) Sweet sentiment on the inside
ReplyDeleteA+ 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.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card and envelope, love the "butterfly" out of the ribbon and clip.
