Joy Fold Card

Today's card is another "Joy Fold".  I first talked about this fold here.  I have yet to learn how to get good pictures of shiny paper, so this doesn't look as good as it does in real life.

The base card is white on one side and a glossy maroon on the other -- no idea who makes it.  Using an acrylic stamp from Hot Off the Press, I stamped it with VersaMark and then gold embossed it.  I also ran the VersaMark ink pad around the edges of the card front and gold embossed that.

I glued navy card stock to the inside back of the card, so it shows through where the card front is cut away.  I also stamped little butterflies (acrylic stamp from studio g) on the navy with VersaMark and gold embossed them, bending the wings back for a bit of dimension. I glued them only along their bodies.  A gold braided ribbon and a Dazzles sentiment finish off the look.

Here are a couple more pictures showing the inside:

This is probably my favorite folded card and the first "advanced" one I ever tried. I like the colors you picked and the embossing on the edge of the paper.

I'm with you on taking pictures of shiny materials LOL
