New Fold - house shaped aviation themed card with decorative paper, paper airplane digital and filmstrip die cut

 I have worked with this new fold for a card!!  I was inspired by a card online that had a double front and was folded to create a house profile.  I cut this large card from a large sheet of cardstock from a pad I bought a while back.  I marked and and then scored the fold lines that create the roof line and then down the center of those triangles to get them to fold in half into the card!!  Totally cool!!  It stands up very nicely and there is room inside to write on the house shaped insert.  I started with the body of the shape and added a collage of vintage airplane blue print paper which I designed with several images of planes I found online for a previous card.  I added the gray triangle at the top and then worked on the focal element which combines a filmstrip die cut (SX) in black with a printed digital image of a little paper airplane (Pixabay) and a bit of fiber to make its vapor trail.  I added the little ribbon after the fact which took a bit of fiddling but was worth the echo of my watercoloured sky on the little airplane image.  After finishing the front, I thought it needed a bit of something so I added some texture to the peak with a Sharpie marker.
Really like how it worked out!!  Therese
