Simon Says Wednesday, Tie It Up!
Scor Pal, More Than One Score, Birthday.
I used the Gina K Designs stamp sets, Birthday Duo and By The Sea 2. Base card stock measures 4.25" x 8.5", scored at 2 1/8" and 6 3/8"....and when using a Scor Pal they have so kindly made a raise dot at these two marks, to make creating a Gate Fold card that much easier....thanks Scor Pal!!! The larger focal circle tucks in right behind the smaller circle, which is raised by using Pop Dots.
Added two Bracket Edge border dies, to create some interest, Birthday sentiment and a little beach grass too.
Shell colored with Copic Markers. Some sheer ribbon tied on. MFT Blueprints #12 die and Spellbinders Scallop Circle die.
Spellbinders Classic and Scallop Circle dies and 3 Adhesive Rhinestones colored with Copic Markers.
Not too much going on with this card, but to be perfectly honest with you, I LOVE IT!!!
So happy you were able to pop on in! Thanks!
Enjoy~~
Very pretty. I like the layers and the way the larger circle tucks in behind the smaller circle to keep the card closd
ReplyDeleteSo clever of you to use the circles to interlock and close the card. I love the si pole and beautifully calm design. You finished the inside too. These gate fold cards almost make you want to finish them. Then they are all set to go! Also clever of you to combine so many challenges. Thanks for playing in the Mod Squad today.
ReplyDeleteI think I meant simple design! Not si pole??????
Deletelol I have been trying to translate this for 2 days! Bahahaha
