This is my card for LSC177 with a unique fold. I guess I learned a few things like color the sunflower before you fold it, but by the time I get my second one cut out, it will be WAY past my bedtime. The next one will be perfect though.
Sentiment is Stamping Sensations. Stamps are Local King Rubber Stamp sunflower and chicken wire. Flower is stamped on front of card, colored and then folded, opened, and the right half is cut out. Then I glued it to the inside and placed a piece of plain cardstock over the cutout to write on. I think it looks country. Edges are inked vigorously.

I had to read your narrative twice to try to figure out just how you did this. I'm enamored with your talents, but I know I could never recreate this card. It's just fantastic. How creative to think of using a fence along with your flower. I think this is just fantastic. One great card, that's for sure.

This looks really attractive! I love your ink distressing and the placement and color of the flower with your background is stunning. Well done! This is frameable, I think!
