Here is my gate-fold card. It is an offset opening, you can just see the punched section on the narrow side that the edge of the wider front side tucks under. There is some gold vellum behind the punched section and green glitter over the top of the design.
The front of the card has been stamped in gold and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer UTEE in Lapis Black. As with all Cosmic Shimmer EP there is a residue of powder around the image and being UTEE it is a more obvious but completely unavoidable cloud. Where the ep did not stick the design has been picked out with gold leaf pen.
The sentiment is an old one from my collection of word stamps. The main image is a Clarity stamp and is available at Craft-Room. Now if anyone knows anything about this gate-fold challenge please tell me or have I completely lost it this time?
Thank you Sam yes it is City Crafter Challenge who have gate-fold this week and were the inspiration for this design.

ReplyDeleteHi Zoe - this is beautiful. I love all the detail.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your lovely message. Several people have said they find it a problem leaving messages. I know there is a known problem with some blogs, in that the paragraph spacing does not seem to work properly. A friend starts a separate page and then manages to leave a message.
