Vintage Tri-fold Shutter Card

Hi again!  Amazingly, I'm back with another post today.  In a bit of down time today, I was browsing my blogs and I saw a wonderful project from the very talented, Selma here.  I looked at the tutorial and knew I didn't have time to attempt it, but I kept thinking of it all during the day and when I got home, I decided to give it a go. Who needs dinner anyway?  I tweaked Selma's dimensions a little to fit the images I wanted to use, but otherwise kept everything the same.

Here is the inside view of my version:


Here is a top view:


And finally, a front view:


My card base is SU Ruby Red and the inside base and mats are retired SU Forest Foliage.  All of the patterned papers are from the Graphic 45 Christmas Emporium 8x8 pad.  The four vintage sentiments are from Create With TLC. They are all part of the Ornately Christmas set in Paulette's store here.    I let the papers do all the work and only added a triple-loop sheer Antique Gold bow to finish my creation.

Thanks for stopping by again!  I am slowly making my way through your blogs so if I haven't visited yet, I will soon!

I am entering my card in Tammy's Scrapin' Corner Challenge #40 (Christmas shaped cards).

Have a great night and see you soon!
