This is my Blog Hop project

I showed my mum one of these Gift Cards that I made awhile ago and she has asked for several for Christmas so I thought this was a perfect opportunity to make some more.
I chose to use my new House Mouse Stamps that I got from Joanna Sheen.
I have used a hammered white card and embossed the top and bottom with my Glitter Girls border bars.
I mounted the image, which I coloured with promarkers, onto red card added a wide satin ribbon and bow then found my Red Liquid Pearls and dotted then along the points on the embossing.
This next picture is showing the inside which can be used for either money or vouchers.
I highlighted the curve which I made using my craft knife, the sentiment I stamped with Momento Tuxedo Black Ink, the sentiment I bought from Sir Stampalot.  I then used a smaller HM image which I punched out with a circle punch.
I do hope we will be seeing you on the hop, don't forget to leave a comment at each stop for a chance to win some goodies from the DT and also the main prizes.
Most of all enjoy yourselves.
Big hugs to all.
