Beautiful Card Designs Made Easy

Shabby Chic Gatefold

Hi Everybody,

    For this card I have used a die to give me the shape   at the top of the gatefold and it makes for an unusual                               design to the card.

It has been created in peach shades and green leaves and they have been  added to the circle die cut to bridge the Gatefold.

I have used some homemade texture paste to stencil on some extra pattern and then sprinkled it with the glass glitter.  

I bought this glitter at a craft show and I must have had it about ten years ,,, and its still going strong.

This photo is from the front angle and you can see that I have stencilled the inside of the card also

This one is taken from a side angle and it shows the gatefold and the cetnre circle that bridges the gap.

I have use da 250gsm card from AnnaMarie Designs and again I have had this card for quite some time.

There was a lot in the pack when I bought it and it doesn't seem to go down at all.

I used patterns in the same shade of peach so that they would blend together, and the butterfly is a little sequinned one that is also ancient.

It has made a lovely card and I am pleased with it but it will need a box to give it to someone

Bye for now ...

Hugs xx
