I really enjoy these fun fold cards so when the MMTPT776 asked for a fun fold, wood grain card, I was excited for the inspiration.
I used cardstock that resembles wooden boards to create the card, and the back of the card is featured in the bottom right picture of the image. The overall aesthetic looks rustic, and I hope that Clint will appreciate it.
The card's front features a fun folding design, held in place by a ribbon. I first stamped the main image and then cut it to fit the panel folds. However, I realized that the fun fold element covered up most of the image. So, I had to get creative and start over, blending and stamping both squares to align with the main image to the best of my ability.
I'm happy with how the blending for the sky came out. The pink seems to bring life to the sky.
I may have to upload this card in multiple images if this collage is too small. Please let me know if so.
As always, thank you for taking the time to look.

You really went all out on this! This is very creative...I really like how you did the trees and yes, the pink brings out some subtle contrast to the sky. WOW...well done.

Great fold. You did a super job stamping and matching the extra panels to the original background. I especially like the wood you used for the back of the card.

Adding my kudos for your engineering to get the images to match so beautifully -- and speaking of beautifully, I too love your sky with that hint of pink. So fun to see the big 50 when the card is opened. Great fun fold design. Great card.
