All occasion card featuring a drapery fold, silk flower and ribbon



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
