Been thinking about how I was going to do this card all day. Only one thing with it.....it is a little too girly for me! LOL Don't know how that happened, but it did. Here's how it was done......
Cut my card stock according to the directions. Stamped my flowers with versa mark then cameo coral. Then clear eb'd them. Sponged edges darker and lightly sponged around flowers. Did the folding for the springfold card. Only thing I did different was I didn't cut the corner pieces off, I just folded and glued them to the back. I cut out a scalloped oval with my nesties, ran it through the cb dotted swiss folder. Sponged with the cameo coral then popped it up on the square front.
Stamped my little duckling with his flowers using black stazon, then clear eb'd it. Colored and shaded him using acrylic paints. Cut him out. Glued the bottom to the oval and attached a homemade paper spring to the back of his head so it would stand out from the card......after all, this is a *spring* fold card! LOL
Hope it isn't too pink or girly for you!.......TFL :0)
Hi Sis! do you think this would make a nice anniversary card?
