Today I have used the Feeling Spoilt digital stamp by All Dressed Up,
one of our generous sponsors this fortnight, adding fancy folds to this stylish image.

There are bundles of tutorials out in cyberland on how to make this front step / step panel card design.  This card folds flat for mailing.  I up-sized the card to fit this tall, elegant digital stamp.  Dimensions are detailed below is you would like to give it a try, just remember to burnish your folds firmly to ensure that your card stands proud and tall when finished.

Flat dimensions - 5 1/4" wide x 8" tall
Standing dimensions - 5 1/4" wide x 1 1/4" deep x 6 3/4" tall

I got distracted by the fancy folds and gone a bit out of sequence.  Once I had worked out the dimensions for all the panels, I sized the image to suit, printed it on X-Press It blending card, heat set then coloured with Copic markers.  I added Stardust Stickles to the earings and Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush to the bubbling glass of champagne and glass table top.

I had a lot of empty space to the right hand side of the image panel, so added some bling to the top then thought it needed more, so I punched a bundle of flowers from black and white cardstock, colouring some with a Copic marker, layering them black-pale blue-white and topping them with black rhinestones.

Here are some more pics showing the
dimension and some different views of these fancy folds.
