Double Tent Fold Card

Another fancy fold card today, a fold I haven't tried before.  I'm not sure if it's got an official name, so I think I'll call it a Double Tent Fold Card. 
 

It's basically just two card blanks, one slightly smaller than the other, with the small card inside the larger one, attached by the back.  I used the rectangle die cut from the front as a mat for the sentiment and lined it up with the aperture when assembling the card.  The sentiment is a Stamp Market 'Paper Hug' die and I embossed the border with an old Sizzix embossing folder.  Four clear flower gems finished off my card.


All the purple and lilac card was from my snippets drawer, so I'll be sharing my card over in the Playground. 


I am joining in the following challenges:

  2. This double tent fold looks great Liz and love the purple and lilac card with the pretty embossing on the outer frame, and the large die cut sentiment on the inner card, and the flower gems on each of the corners of the outer frame finish it perfectly. x
