I have one brother whom has a birthday coming up soon. My sisters and I, one being over at pinkyfingercrafts blogspot, spent the weekend making cards for different people, I made one for my brother. 
Too a very long time this time because I had no idea what I wanted to do. But it finally came together nicely I think. I would appreciate some comments from viewers also.White card stock with patterned patter by Paper Pizza ephemera paper. The picture is printed on vellum, then black paper from the same pak and then white card stock cut around with decorative scissors  and glued to the final background. 

 The inside has three separate tags holding together by a matching brad and connected to the pattern paper before gluing it to the card. The side pieces and of the same pak only one the left is one piece and the right has two coordinating pieces. Before I glue this down , the paper has stitch marks as part of its print, so I used my sewing matching and stitched along in white thread and let some of the threads hang loose. I then used bakers twine and went from left to right and on the right I wrapped it on the part of the paper that did not have stitching. Then I glued the paper down so the twine would stay put. The flap at the bottom opens up to reveal my message and the year. The back says handmade using a stamp.
