This matchbook album/card was made for an upcoming workshop/class on May 9, 2013

Inside of the matchbook, paper bags were stamped with Embossing ink and sprinkled with detail white embossing powder then heated with the heating tool to set.  Stamps used here are Stampin' Up Borderline and Inkadinkado butterfly-flower background.
