OSW3 #3 - Latch Card

Here's the 3rd in the series of One Sheet Wonders Set 3.  Again, with the one sheet wonder pieces, I'm using other elements from the Honeysuckle Artful Card Kit (HOTP) as well as other things from my stash.  

CARD FRONT (& Inside that shows through to the front!!):
  • Background - The card (5"x 7") is basically a cut-away card as I started by cutting approx 1 3/8" from the right edge of the card front.  I embossed a 5" x 7" piece of black glimmer paper using a Darice folder called "Damask".  This I then cut into 3 strips just wider than the patterned pieces to serve as a mat (with lots left over at the top).  At the "join" of the patterned paper to the black piece, I put pieces of a red border that was included in the kit.  Then I glued the largest piece to the card front.  Before adding the piece to the card back, I scored it at 1 1/8" and 1 1/4" from the right edge (2 score lines to make opening and closing the card easier).
  • Sentiment - I cut out the shape for the sentiment from the printed greetings page and then matted it on black card stock.  I stamped "Bee Happy" from the HOTP Small Stamp stamp, and hand-wrote "Don't Worry" above it.  Then I added it to the front of the card using foam tape.
  • Bee Latch - The bee forms my latch to hold the card closed.  You can see that his wing (and actually a little of his head) overlaps the card front.  He is attached with foam tape to the inside of the card.

INSIDE:
  • To finish off the inside, I simply added another strip - using the smallest patterned piece & black strip & adding a bit of red border as before.
