Ooooh how fancy!




One more post for the day before I start supper. I made this card for a swap on SCS. You had to send in cards with "fancy folds". I used pink pirouette as my base. Cut it just like you would for a 4.25 x 5.5 card. Fold down the front, adhere patterned paper to the fold (I think that's Daisy D's). I used blue textured c/s to mask the pp. Then I cut white c/s 1/4 inch smaller than the pink and adhered it "backwards" inside the card. I punched out some matching pp with a circl punch for decoration. My favorite part of this card is the "Oval All" sentiment by SU! I colored the rubber stamp with always artichoke and rose red markers, stamped it and punched it out with the lg. oval punch then backed it with certainly celery c/s punched out with the scallop oval punch. I tied a piece of crean sheer ribbon to finish it off. All you do is slide off the ribbon to open. I think this is the most elements I've ever done to a card and once I got my "assembly line" going, it didn't take long to put them all together.
I hope you like it!
Have a blessed weekend :o)
