Fabulous fancy folds with the Crafty Gals Corner

It's time for another challenge with us at the

This week we are letting our creative juices flow with
Challenge #158 - Anything Goes

The sponsor for this challenge is:

Prize: $15 Gift Certificate

~~~*~~~*~~~

Today I have used the PURE Innocence digital stamp from The Paper Shelter, our generous sponsor this week, to make a swing easel card.



The fancy folds give fabulous dimension and fold flat for mailing.


Let's start at the very beginning, a very good place to start...

You may have noticed that I love fancy folds, so I surfed the internet to learn about the swing easel fold.  I sized the image panel to be a comfortable size to colour then sized the layers to suit.  I printed the image on X-Press It blending card, heat set then coloured with Copic markers.  
I added a touch of sparkle to the wings and butterflies using a Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush.



I cut the cardstock and patterned paper panels, then cut and scored the base before adhering everything together.  I finished it off with a cluster of flowers to match the patterned paper and some foliage punched out of black card stock.



Here are some more pics of this fun fancy fold.
Just click on the image if you want to see them in more detail.

    1. Thank You Shona :)
      The hair has six colours, I usually go light to dark then back to light again. The swing easel fold is surprisingly easy to do, just a couple of partial cuts and strategic scoring and you're done. I hope you give it a try.
