Wowie Zowie!


I'm getting a great response to this card I created in the middle of the night - when I couldn't sleep.

This is a hinge card. You get to see the card closed and open in the same photo. Am I tricky, or what? The top of the card just turns up so you can see the inside (the message once I figure out who to send it to). It hinges at the flower on the left with a brad through it. I also like the top edge looking like a fence and the flowers going down behind it when it is closed. The main image was stamped and embossed before adding a little color with a blender pen and the ink from the lid of the pad. I also cut out two small flowers from the dp and glued one on the inside and the other is popped up with a dimensional over the flower on the main image.

So, do you like it? Don't tell me if you don't. I only want to hear the positive! LOL ; )

Wowie, Zowie is right my friend! This is absolutely so clever and a fabulous idea. I feel bad that you had to get up in the middle of the night to do it. Hope you get some sleep tonight! Great card!

Very beautiful in so many differetn ways. The colors, the punches, the hinging, the overall appeal. Good job!

I love your card! What a great idea. (I have to admit, I'm going to have to see if I'm bright enough to try and make one). :)
