For today's Demo Card Challenge - make a Tent Topper card.
I hadn't made one of these in ages and I wanted to do something different. This card kind of just came to me in my very strange little mind - and it turned out almost how I pictured it!!!!!!
Basically, just take a square card base (smaller than a standard sized card), fold it from top to bottom to resemble a tent, then add a topper. Viola - a tent topper card!!!!!!
My card base is not quite a square as I knew that my "topper" would not be very big, but the total size of my card is still a good size to fit into a standard sized envelope.
I wanted something bright for today's challenge seeing as though summer is well and truly here now. So, in addition to using some BB's, I also tried a new technique that I learned recently - I added a mini glue dot to the top of my Gold Brads and then dipped it in Dazzling Diamonds to make them sparkle-sparkle!!!!!! Pretty funky, huh???
I would love to know what you think.

Your card is so cheerful! Love it. The colors are wonderful and that dsp was always one of my favorites and therefore, I hoarded it until it got discontinued. Cool idea on the brads. Now that it's part of the demo challenges, I'll have to try it.
Thanks for sharing.

Great card, Cav. Summer ... ah. Maybe I'll make a white and grey card. Haha!
I love your flowers with all of the layering. They really pop!
