I can't believe I pondered so long in doing this card, only just making it for the challenge. With so many beautiful folds, I decided on this one. Then went on to do 4 others, 2 went into the bin, so I decided to show you the 2 I'm not too happy with, I could have done better work methinks.
My first card is a Double Z fold, a super card designed by my blog friend Shirley, I didn't do her justice on this card. The tools and sentiment with white card, and the grass with the green of the base card, were cut with my Silhouette, the background paper was cut to size and then stencilled with DO, and added to the green background.
The tools, shelves, and sentiment were coloured with DI's, when dry, the shelves were added, and the tools placed onto them, held with the bracket piece. Then the ladder, the gloves, the grass layer with the sentiment were arranged.
My second was a template from Craftworld, a Z fold, which I transferred into Silhouette, I cut the shape, then folded it and added the printed shapes and the rabbit centre. I really don't know where my mind has been on these folds, with so many other shapes I could have done. I spent a long while looking on the web to be able to do something different, it just didn't happen - sorry.

You sound very despondent about these cards and there really is no reason to be. They have turned out great, but I am sorry that you don't feel that. Sometimes we just over think things. Well I do anyway probably more like all the time! xx
ReplyDeleteI don’t know why you aren’t happy with my tool card Faith, it looks perfectly fine to me. The other one looks lovely too xx

2 Fantastic fun fold cards, really love the first one and know several gardens who would be over the moon to receive it
ReplyDeleteA fabulous set of cards, Faith! Love the Father's day card with all the tools. The second is so pretty with the floral and the bunny in the center.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job on these fabulous fun folds! I love them both!
ReplyDeleteYou are really too dang hard on yourself, Faithie. Both cards are awesome! You have much more patience with those little elements than I do, Sis. I think the way you decorated the panels was perfect! Hope it's not getting too hot there for you and maybe you got some rain, xoxo.
ReplyDeleteSo lovely and cute.
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are awesome! I think the first one is my favorite! It is a strong "Father's Day" vibe. Nice work!
