Hi and welcome to our newest sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches where this week I am the hostess. I designed my sketch as a way to encourage me to make a fun-fold card - specifically a bridge card. If you are unfamiliar with bridge cards check out Jennifer McGuire's Bridge Card Video. I'll wait 😄
This was really quite an easy fun-fold so maybe I should venture into more card designs that aren't your standard A2. Thanks for visiting. Please head over and check out the gorgeous cards made by the design team.
Products used:
Cardstock: White
Ink: Iced Spruce Distress Ink, Wintergreen, Sage, Martini (Catherine Pooler)
Dies: Diamond Floral Frame, Geometric Optical Background (Spellbinders), Wonderful Sentiments (Pink Fresh)
Accessories: Copper Hot Foil, Black Hot Foil, Copics, Geometric Optical Background Stencils (Spellbinders)
Cheers

I'm in love with this bridge card technique, Karren! Your design with the foiling and stenciling is so lovely and elegant.
I have only made one 'fun fold' card - a shadow box might qualify? Your beautiful card makes me very curious to try one, Karren!

What a gorgeous card and fabulous take on the sketch. Love the fold and the diamond shape and flowers, with all the gold foiling.

I have no words for this gorgeous card! I am in awe at the backgrounds you create - I wouldn't know where to start! My card looks like the circus came to town but I had fun trying to make it happen! I still miss Fusion because you always made me streeeettttcccch......
I've never seen a bridge card, but yours is marvelous! So very pretty, Karren!
This is stunning, Karren! I have been on your blog for ten minutes at least just staring at it. I do have a question. How did you do the background stenciling? I didn't know the Spellbinders foil plate came with a stencil. It looks incredible! I am so impressed!
stunning Karren. This is such a fun technique - and yours is so elegant. Love it!
I love your beautiful use of the bridge card idea! Such a lovely background you created and I love all of the golden accents.
An absolute stunner Karren - love that stencilled background! Will have to try a bridge card...always been a bit lazy when it comes to fun-fold cards!
Simply exquisite, Karren

Gorgeous card!!! Love the green with the golds and love the fun fold! Thanks for the inspiration. :)
I too love this card with the green and gold. Have this die so I'd better get busy! tfs
Definitely a WOW card! That stenciled background and the foiling are just amazing. Thanks for the great sketch and the lesson on a different fold.
