It is time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge - FTTC45 !!! This week Cindy is our challenge host and she is challenging us to create *Gate Fold Cards*- wahoooo - love it!!!
Here are a couple of links to help you get started from SCS Gate Fold 1 and Gate Fold 2. Gate Fold cards are great year round, but something about opening a card from two sides this time of year gives a more regal, gift-like presentation and you already know how much I love them :)!!!
We can't wait to see what your creations!!!
Okay - I let you in on a little secret....silly old me......I didn't read the challenge post right the other day. I read *Fold Cards* and not *GATE Fold Cards*...so I assumed I could do any kind of fold card.....until I realized that it was suppose to be a *GATE* card - yikes!!! So I have two cards to share with you :) !!!
First I'm showing you my *Gate Fold Card*......
I know, I know I used th
e Winter Bouquet again.....I just can't help myself it called my inky little fingers and I think it's soooooo gorgeous!!! But I must say in my own defense....... I tried really hard not to use it....and as you can see down below I used a different Set on my what supposed to be my first card !!!!The colors I uses on both cards are River Rock, Purely Pomegranate and White. The images were inked in
Memento Black and colored with various Copic Markers (listed down below in the Supply List). At last I bedazzle both cards with lost of Glitter.and Gold Pearls.I also decorated the inside of my cards...make sure to click on the smaller photos!!!
Here is my *Joy Fold Card*....
I used the gorgeous Christ
mas Wreath Set.I followed Beate's tutorial over on SCS. My card size is a bit bigger...I cut it to 5 1/2" by 8 ". Using the longer side I scored it at 5 1/2". The Purely Pomegranate CS in the center is 4" x 4". The White CS with image is 3 3/4'' x 3 3/4".
For the extra White CS border and the image CS I used the new Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page Combo......love them!!!
Please make sure to stop by Betty, Cindy, Dee and Maki's blog to check out all their fabulous creations!!!
Have a wonderful day...and I can't wait to see your cards!!!
