ME4Y Gatefold Card

Welcome to another ME4Y challenge card. This week

we are making Gatefolded cards. I had never made one of

these before but I will again. I love them. 

For this card I used a 5 1/2 X 7 1/2. The standard A2 card

just wasn't big enough to use my Butterfly. The card stock

 I used was from my Citris collection with the matching striped

paper. I added some black swirly bling for that touch of POP.

As you can see, I cut my gate 4 1/2 X 4 1/2 from the same

Citris bundle in Blue then turned a coordinating striped blue

sideways. Layered that with a paper doily. My butterfly

is from Sizzix Butterfly die. After cutting it I ran it through

my Dotted Swiss embossing folder.

 I used silk flower for the center of the Butterfly 

and place a bow to hid the stem.

The sentiment was cut with a Martha Stewart flower

punch, centered with a scalloped edged circle with

"sending Smiles" as the sentiment.

I like to add a little something on the inside of my card

to bring it all together. In this case it's more bling.

Final look of my card for this challenge.

As always I hope you will join us for this weeks Gatefolded card challenge.

I'll be looking for you :)
