Happy Tuesday!
Question: When does a card STOP being fun and START being stressful! Answer: When you have folded it 50 times! LOL~~I didn't do it quite that many, but it did give me fits after awhile. Anyway, if you want to see what this fold is supposed to look like (this is not it!) then Google "Diamond Fold + YouTube." The woman gives fabulous directions but somehow my brain was not receiving. In spite of the fact it looks like the stealth bombler waiting for its next flight, I decided to roll with it, because 1) I was tired, and 2) I NEVER waste paper. I'm entereing this into CMC Challenge, coloring metal.
I hope everyone has a great week, I'm starting on Easter cards (this is the third one) so I shall be posting again on the weekend~~hugs to everyone who needs them, and to those who don't!

I can't tell about the folds but I know the coloring is fabulous. You really should try out for some DT's as beautiful as your cards are. I'm not sure about how to post the award but going to try tomorrow. My company is gone and I'm crashing as soon as I look at a few blogs. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteOnly 50?! LOL!!! I hear ya! It does look gorgeous, though!
ReplyDeleteWell I don't know about folds, but this is a beautiful card & I love your coloring!

I am in MN and it is about 45 today. We had a couple days in the 80s earlier in the week and it was wonderful! My tulips & daffodils are blooming, the trees are just getting leaves so Spring is pretty late this year.
I would love to swap that tulip/bucket stamp. I am almost completely Dutch and you know we have to have our tulips!!
