Good Morning Ladies, wow I bet your saying shes actually got her post done early, actually the card was done last night and I just needed to take some photos. Anyway as hubby is doing a bit of extra volunteering today I thought Id make an early start and get this card posted on my No.2 blog, this is for the House Mouse and Friends "Multi Fold" Challenge, and Ive created a twisted easel one for this. Now I know you are probably saying it looks difficult but I can assure you it isnt, instead of folding the front cover straight across you fold it from corner to corner instead, you do have to be careful afterwards when folding down the front card as it will twist and lay at an angle to the inside but its a piece of cake so do have a try.
The image has been stamped onto white card then Ive used my copic pens to colour it after which I used the Nestabilitie Die Label No.17 to cut it out, then used the die to draw around on another piece of card for the mount. The sentiment is one I found on the internet while googling "Flying Sayings" they are quite a good source of different ones.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of orange pearlescent card, I have also used the same card for the inside, the two papers Ive used are from the First Editions "Bloom and Grow" set, a pretty leaf pattern for my first paper on a white/cream background, the second is a piece of the green paper with a yellow leaf pattern on but I cut the front cover in a square and used the leaf all around border punch and corner set by Martha Stewart for this one, and for the inside I used a strip and have just done the two edges. The third mount is just off cuts of the first paper thats been turned over (its a double sided paper) this has a orange background with spots on, these were stuck across both the inside and out on some of the left over orange card, then across the middle of both I have wrapped a wide orange satin ribbon around and attached it to the back.
On the inside I have put my sentiment, and on the front my mounted image, to finish of I used five orange roses of different sizes and colours with punched out leaves to create a spray in the top left hand corner and stuck to my card with silicone glue.
This card is to be entered in the following Challenges:-
