Gull-tastic Birthday - Just Add Ink Challenge #756

Friday means a new Just Add Ink challenge and this week it's time for a bit of fancy folding so you can...


It's been a while since I last made a card needing a belly band and initially I wasn't intending to play along, but I rewatched some fav YouTube videos recently and came across a gatefold card made by Ruth Hamilton that inspired me to get crafting.

Here's the front with the belly band on:


And on the inside...


I love aquas and teals, especially for a coastal theme, so used a variety of inks for my ocean scenes and repeated those colours when I stencilled the stripes to use as 'patterned paper'.  

This card is my entry for Seize the Birthday challenge #307 - Fancy Fold.

Materials used:
  • stamps - Inquisitive Seagulls, Postage Collage Beach Days (Waffle Flower)
  • dies - Oh Buoy (Spellbinders)
  • inks - coastal cabana, summer splash (Stampin' Up), dew drops, teal cave (Altenew), frayed burlap, pumice stone, carved pumpkin (Tim Holtz distress), nocturne (Versafine Clair)
  • other - blending brushes, two-step mixed stripes stencils (Waffle Flower), Dimensionals, Sidekick, MISTI, small banner punch, white embossing powder, heat tool

Thanks for calling in.

Cheers
Kerry
