Embossed Gatefold Card

I have the coloured and cut flowers I made a few days ago that need to be put on cards.

I used the pink and purple Fleurette on this card. Going with the pale blue one this time with another gatefold card. 

You don't need the two fronts to be the same size, I just moved the measurements. I also made the gap smaller so that I could have the flower in a vertical layout. I used a die cut to emboss the 2 fronts and the back panel.

Sympathy Bridge Gatefold Card

I've been Copic colouring some of my favourite Hero Arts flowers ... Antique Rose Stem, Fleurettes and Hydrangea ... for the The Daily Marker 30 Day colouring Challenge.

I was watching tennis so didn't mind fussy cutting them.

I knew I wanted to use at least one of them for a bridge gatefold card. Although a number of people have made these 3D cards, it was Jennifer McGuire's blog post this week that spurred me to try one.

The flower on it's own would have been quite fragile so I decided to use a heart as a frame to help support it.

Here it is standing open.

This is what it looks like when folded flat to go in the envelope.

Here's a close-up of the wonderful dimension.
