For my sixth card I went with this wonderful brown paper that has rust on the back and dark brown for my tunnel. You can check out my first card
here. Once I trimmed my card and tunnel I cut a large circle opening on the center fold of my tunnel to echo the circles and dots on the front. I stamped my greeting (SU) on the inside of my card in black and then found a dotted circle frame (SU) which I stamped generationally on both the inside of my card and the outside of my tunnel. I embossed the circle I had cut from the tunnel with a birthday embossing folder (CB) then cut it in half. I decided on this large greeting from my stash (
Desert Diva). I toned down the white with an ivory stamp pad, added two little gold corners and then mounted it to a layer of embossed brown cardstock (Scripty - SU) which I had torn across the bottom. The ivory tag is from my desk from when I was making
these school bus cards). I stamped it with some little circles in two different brown inks, added a bit of water to get the colours to bleed and then used the pads on the edges as well. I mounted my greeting to the tag using 3D foam tape and then added a glittery brad which I toned down in colour using a dark brown Sharpie marker. I added a length of ivory gros grain ribbon to the left hand side of my card using double sided tape. I mounted the embossed half circles to the tag then mounted this large element to my card front so the brad would overlap the ribbon. Worked out very well!! Therese
