Butterfly Gate Fold!

>> Friday, January 16, 2009

Posted By Jennifer

In order to spruce up my card making a bit, I've been browsing the resource files over at Splitcoast Stampers. I know the Gate Fold Card Technique isn't anything new, but would you believe in my 5 years of paper crafting I've never tried it? So, here's my attempt!


Both the image and sentiment are by DRS Designs.



This butterfly image is one of my favorites. I love using it with 2 colors of ink and giving it a little sparkle!



Stamps: DRS Designs- Flower Butterfly, Happy Birthday Sentiment
Ink: Color Box Fluid Chalk Ink in Wisteria, SU! Rose Red

Paper: Smooth white cardstock by Office Depot, Colored Cardstock by American Crafts
Accessories: Glitter Glue, Nesties, Silver Ribbon by May Arts, EK Success Decorative Corner Punch
Finished Card Size: 4.25" x 5.5"


Just a few reminders...

There's still time to try this week's sketch challenge sponsored by DRS Designs on the Card Positioning Systems Blog. You have until this Saturday at Noon to post your card on this CPS post.

Also, creating any project using any type of ribbon slide image and posting a link on this DRS Designs Blog Post will get you entered to win several Ribbon Slides by DRS Designs. You'll get an added bonus if you create your project with a DRS Designs Ribbon Slide. The winner will be selected on Sunday, January 25th.

Good Luck!

Thanks for visiting today. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Smiles,
Jennifer
