Gatefold Easel Card

I saw a video of this 'new to me' fold over on the 'Nifty Noodles Crafting' Facebook page and want to try it out.  I think it's called a Gatefold Easel Card and my card will be posted off tomorrow for a card swap.

I was lucky enough to win this beautiful Chocolate Baroque 'Ophelia' stamp in the Allsorts Challenge.  I stamped and coloured it with Promarkers a few weeks ago and couldn't decide on a card design for it.  So today I decided to used it on this card.  The patterned paper was from Papermania and Vintage Chic Creations paper pads.  I used turquoise non-shed glitter card for all the mats to add some sparkle. The sentiment is a stamp from the Happy Little Stampers 'Birthday Friends' set, stamped with Versafine Clair 'Warm Breeze'.

The card is  kept closed with organza ribbon, attached at the back.

Here is the view when the card is first opened.  I think I will be using this stamp a lot!

  13. Great stamp and winning it is extra special. I am so impressed that you colored it a while back and found paper in the same color to match it. That would never happen for me! The fold made a lovely card.
