Adventure ...

Good morning everyone, here is my Inspiration Destination DT make for the Anything Goes Challenge 17.  Why not come and join in the fun here
http://ema-ginationstation.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/ag-ch-17.html

Recipe:

White cardstock
Brown cardstock
Backing paper from Hunkydory Antique paper pad
Brown satin ribbon from crafty stash
One of Sheena Douglass' embossing folders
Tim Holtz Antique Linen distress ink
Spellbinders dies
Sentiment from My Paper Stash
Dr Digi Mobility Malcolm digi images coloured with Copics
Imagination Craft high gloss

First of all, I made an A5 gatefold card from the white cardstock. I added strong double sided tape, backing paper and ribbon strip to the base of the card.

I then embossed three pieces of white cardstock and added to the inside and front of the gatefold card which I then distressed with the Antique Linen ink.

Before printing the images I resized two so that they were a little smaller than the one I used on the inside of the card and also reversed one of the smaller images.

 I then coloured my images with Copics and cut them out.  I also highlighted the glasses with the gloss.

I put foam pads on the three images and adhered them to my card, the larger one on the inside and the two smaller ones on the front flaps.  I then added the sentiment so that when the card is closed it overlaps the two flaps.

Here are the elements before I put them together

 

 

This is a close up of the front of the card when closed

 



 

This is the final card when finished
