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.
Hi Niki, a super special card, love the fancy fold and the pretty orchids. Thank you for joining us at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends and Crafting by Designs, good luck in the prize draws... Megan DT
I have been looking at Splitcoast's Best of 2018 and came across your beautiful card(s). I love this coat fold and have searched for a tutorial (apparently in all the wrong places) and can't seem to find anything. Is it possible you'll put together a tutorial for Splitcoast for us? Or can you direct me to a tutorial? Again, your cards are beautiful and I'll be looking in on you!
