For this week's TLC challenge from Jenn, I used the Double Gate Fold tutorial. I'd already made a sample for Cathy's WTUI challenge, but seeing the TLC inspired me to pull out this stamp which I thought was one I would never use, and make an extra card for the WT. The full WT challenge details are here: WT567 Baby It's Cold Out There
I used Basic Grey papers, and followed the tutorial, although I did reverse the way I attached the cut-off triangles to the card base. I added a belly-band to hold it closed. Image coloured with Polychromos pencils. I masked it, sponged with Pumice Stone and stamped the snowflakes with Iced Spruce. I used Labels 10 to round the top of the image panel, and sponged the edges with a purple ink pad. As an afterthought I added the die-cut birch trees and birds, to make more use of the folds.

This makes me cold just looking at it Sabrina. Your afterthought of adding the trees and birds was brilliant. It's like we are outside seeing her looking out a window.
