My daughter was going to a birthday party this weekend so I gather what I have around and made a B-day card. For inspiration I used the sketch below from Saturday Sketch and the stamp that I bought from Your Next Stamp, for being a winner on their challenge website. I was excited to receive and use this stamp.
And here is my take on the sketch.....
I wanted to try my hand at making a different card this time. So I gave it a shot and made a "gate" card. It was a challenge trying to do the gate card and the above sketch at the same time. I had to measure everything twice. What's that saying? "Measure twice and cut once"! That's exactly what I did.
For this card, I used DP from Basic Grey. I happend to buy a stack of them a while back and I have enjoyed using them in a lot of my projects. I just love the colors! I didn't feel like digging around for some flowers, so I remembered the shabby flowers I made from a previous card and decided to do the same as well. I love how it turned out. It looks like it doesn't belong but the BG papers made it work! I can't for the life of me remember where and whom the ribbon is from. I want to say May's Arts but I could be wrong. I was a little hesistant to use my copics to color Fhiona but I decided to challenge myself and refused to grab my color pencils. It actually turned out pretty well. I hope the birthday girl enjoys this card as much as I've enjoyed challenging myself to make it.
I will enter this card in the following challenges:
Sketch Saturday: Week #149
Your Next Stamp: Stitching
The Stamping Boutique: Challenge #3, Handmade Flowers
Basic Grey Challenge: More than One Fold

Well done! Doing a gate fold can be a challenge and you used a ribbon across and managed to line up both sides perfectly! You should be proud of this card: it's terrific!!
