Earlier this week I shared four gatefold cards using this swirly leaf (see them HERE). All the pieces for those cards were in my 'In Progress' bin, but there was a single image remaining. These had been stamped, heat embossed, water coloured and fussy cut many years ago. No way I was just putting that single piece back in the bin and this is the card I ended up with.
The orange patterned paper was die cut with the inverted scallops and I stamped the sentiment so it would be centred inside the opening. Then I added some additional leaves and a bow from gold twine. Some gold Glitter Dots (stickers) for additional shine and the card front was done.
Since it's Fun Fold Friday here on my blog, I used Karen Burniston's Rockin' Rectangle die set along with some cheerful stickers from my stash. The stickers were adhered to white cardstock then fussy cut. That makes them more opaque and sturdy enough to add foam tape in behind!
Having been asked how many cards I make I thought it would be fun to keep track this year. Many of my posts include more than a single card or project and below is my tally.
