Today's Challenge is to make a GateFold card...... I have to admit, I mostly stick to the basic A2 ( 5.5x4.25") size card, so this is my first attempt at this style. It was definately a challenge for me. Nina has found a great link to some Gatefold card instructions and I did basically follow that, except for the size..... I'd printed this out in a larger size than I normally would work with, (5" x3.5") but I didn't like my coloring "skills" on the smaller one haha
Anyway this card is 6" x 5.5" and I scored at 3.5" on the one side and 2.5" on the other
here's the card half open, so you can see how the gatefold opens and the image panel tucks behind the popped up sentiment to keep it closed
and here's the inside... I've left the open space for writing, or stamping a sentiment before I send it out. and I inked the edges and stamped the bird on the poles from My MFT By the Seashore set

I think your coloring is beautiful! Great job on the gate fold for not doing them before. Love the background paper too! Bes,t Curt
Adorable Leigh Anne!!
I like how you scored the card so that both sides aren't equal in size. Adds a nice effect to it! Love the blue tones in this card. Very pretty card!!
Love this card. The colouring is lovely. I particularly like the inside of the card with the image of the bird on the post.
Lovely.
