I have often looked at the cards on the Splitcoast Stampers gallery that feature the drapery fold and thought I would very much like to give it a go but I have very little double sided paper!! So I did!! This technique works better with double sided paper but in the end I sponged the back folds to coordinate with my paper which worked just as well. Beccy has a tutorial on her blog if you would like to know how make this fold. I started with a black card, added a background of yellow decorative paper and then cut the piece I needed for the fold from a coordinating paper. I scored and then folded my paper and trimmed just a little bit off the end so it would fit on my background. I identified the areas of my folded piece that showed on the front, turned over the whole piece and added several layers of colour until I was happy with how it looked. I glued my folds at the top and then adhered it over my background. I added a length of black ribbon securing the ends to the inside with double sided tape. I found some silk flowers that I combined to create this one and sponged the layers with yellow to get it to coordinate more closely. I layered the flower pieces, added a black sequin and secured them all together using a yellow brad. I used 3D foam tape to adhere my silk flower to my card front. Very happy with how this one turned out!! Therese
