Tri-fold Challenge

Today's card is in response to a challenge on the Paper Wishers Message Board.  The challenge was to make a tri-fold with each section being the same size.  This is my result.  Unfortunately, the type of card I need right now is a sympathy card, so that's what this is.

Materials used:

• Card Base: Two printed cards from HOTP - glued together so UPC is hidden on the back
• Papers: cream colored glimmer paper, pink marbled paper
  
• Stamps: Sentiments from JustRite's With Sympathy stamp set, roses, leaves, stem & vase from Stampendous Rose Bouquet set. 
• Dies: Coordinating dies for Rose Bouquet (Stampendous), Resplendent Rectangles, Classic Brackets Edgeabilities and Decorative Inserts Two Edgeabilities (all from Spellbinders).
• Distress Oxide Inks: Fired Brick & Pickled Rasperry
• Ribbon & clear embossing powder from my stash.

 Method:

• Cut and emboss mat (glimmer paper); with die in place, add color at bottom to form "table".
• Stamp & die cut vase & leaves - then color them with the distress inks. Cut stem from bud & add to other roses.
• Stamp sentiment & emboss with clear powder on glimmer paper, cut as shown.

 First inside panel:

Method:
