This is the third of three cards I've made today. The other two will be posted shortly. I made this card for two challenges - this week's
Freshly Made Sketch challenge and the second challenge at
Addicted to Stamps which is a Bingo challenge. In case it's not obvious from my card, I chose Stamp, Emboss, Blue.
Here is my card:
and open (no insert as yet - I never do that until I use the card - because I'm lazy LOL):
I chose to use the sketch as inspiration for a gatefold card. I haven't made one of these in years! My stamp-a-majig came in very handy lining up the Ornate Blossom stamp across the center as I had to stamp each side separately to get full ink coverage. Once I'd stamped in Whisper White Craft Ink, I used the VersaShadow Technique to highlight the images.
The main panel is white embossed on Island Indigo. I also used a ruler to draw a frame around the main image. An antique brad holds the card closed.
Here are the challenges:

I love this, Karen. The effect that you used (Versamark Shadow) is stunning. I'll have to pick your brain one day as to how to do that - I'm a bit new to some of these techniques :) Thanks so much for sharing and playing along at ATS xx
Great technique - beautiful blue - and I love the embossing!
Such an elegant card. And I didn't realize how perfect this sketch was for a gate-fold card until I saw this! Thanks for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches!
