Today's ICAD - July 5th


  

An image is supplied to use in your project and I used it on an index card...



I was delighted to be announced as winner and received a pack of images from Gecko Galz!

I saw this month's image and I really like it! As I am still doing the ICAD Challenge, I thought I would do another (quite similar) index card.



Recipe:

1. Index card layered a Tim Holtz paper.
2. Image printed small enough to fit this card.
3. Distress Ink around the edges with vintage photo.
4. Metal embellishments.


Happy Crafting!

To finish this post, I am sharing my index card for July 4th.
In April of 1978, I had a bad car accident, and wrote off my MG Midget. I was in hospital for 3 months and two days - I was 'let out' on July 4th!
Independence Day!


The index card is a collage of pieces of images from Gecko Galz with some distress in
 vintage photo.
