This fun-fold card is great for displaying, and it folds flat for posting. Take a look at the texture on the left side... it's the fabulous Fern 3D Embossing Folder, also part of the Sun Prints Suite. That impression has a distinctive New Zealand Silver Fern feel to it
Fern 3D Embossing Folder (158804) - $19.00
Here is that first panel standing up with layers of designer paper, die-cut stems, and loving words in a beautiful script font. That flourish of Starry Sky Metallic Woven Ribbon adds a pretty bit of sparkle!
This next panel has a stamped collage of more ferns, splatters, and another of those beautifully crafted words. To add to the distressed vibe of this panel, I have also run the blade of my Paper Snips along the edge of the Gray Granite cardstock mat.
You may have noticed the pretty stem on the first panel, which has been white heat-embossed onto vellum and then die cut. The gorgeous, big Maidenhair Fern stamp on this panel was the inspiration for that idea. It looks so delicate using this stamping technique. And, can you spot more of that pretty Starry Sky Metallic Woven Ribbon?
And, this final panel is for writing some heartfelt words...
The Pinwheel Tower Card design is not difficult to create, but decorating the many panels is definitely a work of the heart. However, all those botanical elements and the product coordination in the Sun Prints Suite made this project so much fun to create.
