Good Friday morning to you all, and that means it's another new challenge at Delicious Doodles. This week we want to see "More than one fold" on your cards. I've done an offset-left, gate fold card, using one of the "Kingfisher" images. There are two images in the set, this is the more feminine of the two. The more masculine one doesn't have the butterflies.
Isn't he magnificent? I colored him with Promarkers, then fussy cut the image and layered it onto an oval mat allowing the butterfly to be outside the frame. I die cut a larger oval from digital paper, and then punched three small butterflies from that same dp.
The card base is embossed with a folder which was in the blog candy I won over at Amanda's blog (more on that later today) and I really love it! That one's going to get lots of use this spring. :-D I took a piece of white CS 5 1/2" X 8 ", scored it at 1 3/4" and again at 6 1/4" for the folding. That puts the front opening slightly left of center. I embossed it by putting one side into the folder and embossing, then put the other side in (inserting it from the oposite side of the folder), lined it up so that the butterfly meets exactly, and embossed it. That took some work and some pre-planning (because I wanted the butterflies flying in an upward direction) but I managed it. :-D
Finally, I adhered the punched butterflies over three of the embossed butterflies and decided it was finished without any further embellishment.
