I need to make some birthday cards an thought it was a good opportunity to try an old card model from Petra van Dam which was for a long time on my wish list ...
I think its called a "Coat" card because a large piece of paper is wrapped along the main image like a coat.
To decorate the top of the main image I used Anja's large flower corner and sponged the embossed area's with Bundle Sage.
The PP with flowers is from Marianne Design: "Eline's nursery" PB703. The soft green PP with leafs is from HOTP 4114.
The image is from a decoupage sheet, cut by hand into several layers and popped up with foam tape. (see little photo).
I did not stick the main image to the backside of the coat so I could insert a tag with a personal message. (see second little photo).
For further embellishments I just used a large pearl on the bow of the bouquet and some fussy cut flowers.
Such a wonderful card, great details and shape. Thank you so much for joining us in our ATG challenge at Through The Craft Room Door this week. Looking forward to see you again next challenge.

WOW! This is a wonderful intricate fold, and you've made a gorgeous card using it. Love triangular floral centerpiece and your idea of the tag pullout. The card is just elegance in and of itself!

I am loving this coat design, it is my first time seeing it. How very inventive and so beautiful--it works so well for what you have designed because it really highlights the beautiful floral display as well as that wonderful corner die-cut with the flower highlighted in its design. This is glorious! I also love how the dp you have used on the "coat flaps" really blends so well with the rest of the design colors and elements.
Thank you for showing how there's a flap at the back of the card for inserting a bookmark, etc. This is a wonderful card I have favorited.
Congratulations having this card chosen as a favorite of the week, it's certainly extremely deserving of this honor, it's AMAZING!!!
I look forward to looking throughout your gallery, you are a very talented cardmaker and it's a pleasure to see your cards!!!
