Congrats to Charlene! I had fun in your gallery and I picked Hope for my case. I used images instead of a photo and made mine a pop out fram card. I kept the butterfly/flower theme and general colors.
All images are Innovative Stamp Creations . The left pic is the front, closed view. I started with white c/s, stamped the text with sunburst ink then brayered over it with a rainbow ink pad. I stamped the reverse image flowers on top with black ink. The butterflies and sentiment were stamped on a separate piece of brayered c/s and cut out. I added some white gel pen accents on the butterflies.
The next two are the inside and inside top views in order to show how the inside operates. The inside was brayered like the front and on a separate brayered piece, I stamped the reverse flowers again and used a Spellbinders square to cut out the center. I used the frame it left around the opening and attached the cut out square to the backside of the card. The cut out butterfly is scored in the center and suspended by the green thread down the center and 2 small black threads on either side. I misted the outside and inside with a little gold Shimmer Spritz.
ETA: forgot to mention, closed, this card measures 4x4.
Thanks so much for looking! Close ups and a link for the template are on my blog: The Write Stuff. (I blogged this last week but never uploaded here. When I saw Charlene's card it reminded me. Hope y'all don't mind a little reverse engineering.)
