lI'm joining in with this months Funky Folds Blog Hop. We are a group of like-minded paper crafters who love to make cards with funky folds. Funky actually means "modern and stylish in an unconventional or striking way"... in other words, cards that are not your usual rectangle/square portrait or landscape style. Think 'easel', 'pop-up', 'gatefold', 'z-fold', 'shaped' or 3D cards etc. The list is endless.
All Blog Hops have an 'anything goes' theme and you may have come from Mo Roote's blog and her fabulous project!
My card is called a WV Fold card as that is the shape you see from above. I was inspired by a card made by Susan Campfield and mine is for a special, pink loving friend's birthday.
I've used the Flowering Meadow Bundle and several pieces of the Velvet Meadow DSP .
This paper features some white flocking on the images which adds another layer of texture and interest - it's especially lovely in person as it's designed to be touched.
The flower images on the front of the card are fussy cut from the DSP whilst the greenery is cut using the dies that co-ordinate with the stamp set. You can see the raised white dots on the left of the card and flower centres feature the white flocking too.
These daisies on the inside, smaller panel, are created using coloured card stock and the stamp and die bundle.
This last page is rather busy - the happy birthday is die cut from Pink card from the Velveteen Assortment pack. It's special flocked paper that works with the white details in this DSP.
And this area on the back is added for somewhere to write a message. The sentiment stamps used here are retired now and were offered as a monthly special stamp set earlier this year.
Thanks for stopping by to see my card!
