Tri-fold Card

Dawn Mercedes is asking us to create a tri-fold card for the Free 4 All Challenge on SCS. I saw an elegant card recently on Debbie Olsen's blog (see photo on right) and wanted to CASE it for this challenge. It gave me a chance to play with a new heart border die from Papertrey Ink that I just LOVE! By using white on white, it gives the illusion of an embossing pattern. I also tried a trick that I picked up on Pinterest to create an edge using a Nestabilities die (I used a Labels Twenty One Nestie). The one thing I would do differently is to emboss the doily stamp using black EP. Using only black ink isn't as vivid as I would like it to be. I'll more than likely add a sentiment to the inside to use as a wedding card. Thanks for stopping by and I want to wish all of my blog friends a very merry Christmas! I have a post set up for Saturday for the ODBD Shining the Light Challenge, but otherwise, my stamping will be on the back burner until after Christmas.

STAMPS: Day of Gratitude (SU)
PAPER: PTI White
INK: Palette Noir Black
ACCESSORIES: Labels Twenty One Nestie, Black satin ribbon (SU), Gemstone flower brad by Spare Parts, Hearts border die by PTI.
