For today's WT: Gate Fold Card. Please excuse my finger, but to take the best photo, I needed the card closed! : ) I stamped the image onto water color paper and used blender pens and markers to color, then cut it out. Sponged the sky and grass onto vanilla cs and adhered the barn. Used my birthday ef for the first time, added red ribbon. The inside has olive dp on both ends and farm animals in the center. Thanks for stopping in today! ~Roberta

Grins, keeping them closed is always what puts me off gate-fold cards. But I wouldn't have noticed your finger if you hadn't mentioned it, because I was so busy admiring everything else; your beautiful colouring, that great ef, and the ribbon to wrap it all up perfectly.
I didn't notice your finger either (like Sabrina)! Love the embossing, and specially how you balanced the image with the beautiful bow... simply wonderful!

I didn't notice your finger either! Like everyone else, I was too busy enjoying your beautifully colored barn scene. When I want something to stay closed for photographing, I make a circle of low-tack tape or post it note (lay it on the back of my hand to take away even more of the sticky), place it inside and press the two sides together. Removes easily without hurting anything inside.

This is just too cute, Roberta. The birthday ef makes a perfect bkg and I love the idea of the barnbeing full of animals. The bright red bow is the perfect finishing touch.
