This week's challenge at Cricut Cardz Challenge is to make a gate fold card. You can use any cartridge as part of your card. I used A Child's Year for this cut of a child with an umbrella. I'm trying to think spring. You know, April showers bring May flowers. I know, wishful thinking, it's still winter. My patterned paper is from DCWV Spring Stack. It has clouds and raindrops on it, making it the perfect paper for this umbrella cut. I cut another layer of clouds out of the paper and outlined them with Stickles then placed them with pop dots. I used blue glitter on the raindrops for a little more sparkle. I mounted my image on top of Nestabilities Label that I emboseed on the edge. I left it in the die and sponged the top with Colorbox Chalk ink in powder blue. I had not done this technique before but I like how it left a white edge.
This sentiment is from a set of sentiments that are quotes from children made by Inkadinkado. I thought this was the perfect saying to go with this card. In fact this saying is what gave me the idea for my card design. I don't often design around a sentiment, but it worked in this case. I again cut some of the clouds from the patterned paper to add to the inside of the card.
