This week on my live I created these fun fold cards using the Enduring Beauty and Citrus Blooms.
The first card was a CASE of my card I created for the Fancy Friday Challenge. Here is my original card with the colour combination down the side. Be sure to check out Fancy Friday, either on Facebook or Instagram and give them a follow for LOADS of great inspiration every month!
The original inspiration for this card came from some flowers in my garden
For the first card, I kept to the same colour combination on the flowers and the Daffodil Delight watercolour striped background too. I have added in some of the Shy Shamrock ribbon, but to make this thinner and more textured, I have cut this in half down the length of the ribbon.
The large circle is from the Spotlight on Nature dies and is a great size for the centre panel, it measures approx 10cm or 4″, and the smaller label is from the Changing Leaves Dies.
The second card has a Night of Navy card base and the middle panel has been embossed with the Distressed Tile Embossing Folder.
The Gold Ribbon is already very thin (1/8″) but i wanted more of a twine effect, so I also cut this in half down the length of the ribbon and tied a bow with both pieces.
The centre panel is a die cut piece from the Countryside Corner Dies and this has also been embossed with the Distressed Tile Embossing Folder.
