All occasion card featuring a drapery fold, ribbon and decorative paper

 Happy with my first drapery fold card I decided to make another one!!  I changed the orientation to portrait and put the start of the fold on the right hand side.  It was mostly all assembled when I realized that I had not sponged any areas but it was too late to make any changes.  

I used a kraft card front and trimmed a teal/brown paper for my background.  I created my drapery fold from coordinating paper.  My error in this piece was that I switched the long side so I should have folded it the other way for the drapery folds to show on the front.  I am happy with the way it looks!  I adhered my drapery fold to my background, added a piece of dark brown ribbon securing the ends to the back before adhering this large element to my card front.  The little globe came with the paper pack.  I cut two circles - oatmeal and dark brown.  I embossed the oatmeal one using a Tim Holtz embossing folder selectively so I could get the checkered pattern in the center and the distressed areas on the outside of the circle.  After embossing it, I sponged the edges which really helped.  I added the globe with double sided tape then glued the oatmeal circle to the dark brown one.  I mounted this focal element to my card front using 3D foam tape.  It was fun to experiment with the drapery fold and I will use it again now that I have figured out how to use single sided papers effectively.  Therese
