Gatefold Card

Good Morning to all my blogging friends. The sun is still shining here in the West of Scotland, but it is a tad chilly too.  I think I must be getting slower in making my cards as this one took almost a day to create.  Its called an 'Interlocking Gatefold Card',  designed by fellow blogger Becca Feeken who kindly did a tutorial way back in June last year.  My base card is 8 X 8 and I used white hammered card and then after using the tutorial I added Teal, Silver and Turquoise to add my colours.  I used Spellbinders Marvelous Squares to create the interlocking pieces, the only other die I used was the Champagne glass from Marianne dies.  The large diamonte in the centre was one of a few that Molly gave me after picking them up at a boot sale, she thinks like her Gran.  I made a wallet for this one as it is for another family member.  I still have two more cards to do for this same occasion, so I hope I'm not boring with them.  I hope you all have a great crafting day .  I so appreciate all the lovely complimentary comments that has been left on my blog.    Hugs Rita xx

Snap, that is similar to one I did a couple of weeks ago.
I had found a video on You Tube, kind of got the "Jist" of it. Then promptly lost it till someone posted on my Blog that it was a Becca Feecan from Amazing Paper Grace Tutorial.

Love yours,nice delicate colours. I have to say those Dies are beautiful, giving stunning effects on cards.

WOW! There are some awesome die cuts on there Rita. The silver really shines and it's just perfect for an anniversary celebration. Day long cards are the norm for me and I don't make any fancy folds. LOL Beautiful job! Hugs!
