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.

A close up of the embossing.

Kaleidoscope of Butterflies

I love butterflies ... and lots of them! And a whole a bunch of them is called a kaleidoscope!

I wanted to create a sense of movement as they seldom stay still for long! Instead of a closed circle (for the wreath) I went with a spiral.

Christmas Star

Very calm and CAS Christmas card with only a touch of colour, but with quite a few layers.

Butterfly waterfall card

It's been quite a while since I made a waterfall card, but this week's CASology challenge inspired me to get inter-ACTIVE!

In order to keep it CAS, I kept it to white pages and a white embossed panel for the holding strip.

I would have made it the true 7 colours of the rainbow if I hadn't run out of yellow and purple dotted paper. Amazing that we can have so much paper, yet still not have what we need.

Pop on over to the design team to get more inspiration ... and then get active and joining the fun!

Blues ... are my thing

I loved Hannelie's card at Time Out Challenge. My CASE on her card focuses on ...

... a die cut

... splatters

... graded shading

... mostly white flowers

My own twist is to use blues as those are my favourite. I also coloured the flower centres to add a little weight to the flowers.

The die is the Tim Holtz Sizzix Mixed Media 661185 die
