Hello everyone,
I was thinking of something the other day and decided to go for it....a giant gate fold garden card
This was after I made that giant nautical card
and just wanted to do it again..
So, fold is done..8 inches high, 14 inches across.
papers..
such a beautiful pattern and colours
There she is all covered..front
and back..
now the fence
i didn't want to use the railing die for the fence, I wanted it to be a little bit
deeper so made my own..
Branches was a after thought..cut in brown then green then leaves
were nipped off and glued onto the brown..
Daisies were a definite
and an idea for the centers, but no, looked silly and didn't work..
another idea for the hearts but they needed severe painting or inking.
die cut loads of leaves from Altenew
glued the layers
nothing straight with my eye sight !!!1
but they passed
The hearts became the nails on the fence..
Then on went details and things...
metal handles with a tiny piece of Camillia branch holding it together..
Wide open..
cute little bird..
tiny white flower glued inp lace with Nuvo crystal drops for the centers..
and standing up..
So there you go..a giant tri fold garden card..fun.
Thank you so much for stopping by, see you soon..
Luv CHRISSYxx

ReplyDeleteA gorgeous card Chrissy. I love those papers and the cute little bird. So much die cutting!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful Chrissy, I think it's a spring garden, the colours are so fresh and clean, the trees in blossom and the little bird perched on the branch is happily singing his heart out. Love the fence and the clever closure too.

Wow that is just fantastic, I love the fence you made with the hearts, so sweet, I love your handles on the front to hold it closed with the piece of stick! Loving the bird on the branch and the pretty white flowers too, pretty surprise when open the inside with all the lovely daises, I didn't mind the centers at all on the first ones you did, both centers of the flowers look great to me :)
