I started with two images from the June 2012 release Man o Man ephemera sheet from Gecko Galz. I resized and fussy cut the man for the front of my card. I resized another image from the set for a bookmark.
I cut cardstock 11"x5-1/2', scored at 4-1/2" and 2" to create a tri-fold card that would include a bookmark for my avid reader dh. The first photo is the true color of the crumb cake Stampin' Up cardstock. Have no idea why the other photos look more gray--all taken same time, same place. Tim Holtz Alterations folder on Graphic 45 Steampunk Debutante paper, highlighted with Stampin' Up Crumb Cake ink. Tim Holtz Ideaology numeral.
