My card used two digital images and a sentiment from Beccy's Place. I opened the "Little Aloe" and "Little Pot" images and "With love" sentiment from the "A Little Something" and assembled them together to complete the design. I printed the image panel on X-Press It Blending Card, coloured with Copic markers, trimmed to size, matted on textured cardstock, trimmed using a Perfect Layers Ruler, adhered on to a brown panel, then adhered the panel to a top folding 5" x 6" card base and no, I don't know what happened, it was meant to be a 5" x 7" card but I must have been a bit over zealous when trimming the image panel down to size. I made the card base from 300gsm smooth cardstock, adhering two panels at the top, with the back panel scored at 1" to allow the card to open and stand.
... needless to day ... I love this sentiment and image combo ...

I have entered my card in the August Challenge at Beccy's Place Challenges
I actually like the way the card opens Tracy, it's something a bit different. Love your clean and simple style, and your colouring is wonderful.

Thank You Beccy :)
ReplyDeleteI confess, I have always liked top folding cards but it is really hard to source 7" or A5 bases with top folds, so now I make my own, a bit more cutting and fiddling about but it makes me happy :)
PS - I really love the creative possibilities with this set ... you never know, fans might ask for you to bring it back to the store!
