Bloom

 Having fun with a new gatefold die I lucked onto at half price! 

The set comes with everything needed to make the decorated card itself along with the layered embellishment for the belly band.  There are even extra flowers and leaves to play with.  I cut two of the solid blue background and glued one in place for the inside sentiment.  The other I cut in half and attached the pieces behind the gate flaps.  The branches are openwork and without the backing, you would be able to see partially through to the sentiment. 

It was a fun card to make and I've already started another version of it . . . stay tuned!
