SweetStamps #61: Double Dutch Fold

Happy Tuesday!!!

Today at SweetStamps we have an exciting new challenge for you!!

This weeks challenge is:

DOUBLE DUTCH FOLD

I have to admit that I have never seen this fold of a card done before, so I was really excited after I watched the tutorial at Splitcoaststampers.

The instruction were very easy, the hardest part for me, was bringing the card together. 

Here is my card sample:

Here is a side view of the frame on dimensions. 

The beautiful image is one of the new stamps that were released two ago. 

This is the Carnation flower stamp.  These rubber stamps are big and so full of beautiful detailing, which makes it fun and easy when it comes time to shading.  I colored the image with my Copic markers and then I added Creative Inspiration Paint- BLUSH to the image.  I then trimmed the imaged, because I didn't want to cut it off, every part of this image was important to keep. :) 

The card was created with one  8.5 x 11 sheet of paper and the layers are Neenah white cardstock and the beautiful patterned paper is Limited Edition: Bird Song paper pack.  I used my Spellbinders to create the frame and to cut the natural burlap.  I added foam dots to the frame, added the pearls, then the image. 

I think that it came together beautifully and I am sure that I will be using this fold again. 

So I hope that you will try out the Double Dutch Fold and participate in this weeks challenge.
