Hi friends. Happy Friday! Vera here. Today I have a gate fold card to share using one of my favorite, Climbing Cosmos Layering Stencil set.

I decided to color the cosmos with various ink. I used Deep Peony, Grand Fuchsia, Soft Amethyst, Irish Blooms, Beach Blondie, Coralline Hybrid, Soft Garden . Once done with the coloring then I die cut the image using Coming Up Cosmos dies. Put the piece aside. Fold the card base into gate fold. Now, for the base, I decided to tilt the stencil in various partial angle using the same color mix.

Actually, when I saw the result on the card base, I almost didn’t want to cover it at all, because I thought it looks really pretty. At the end, I stick to my original plan of adding the cut out piece as top layer. I am very tempted though to repeat this card base, because I sure do love the way it look. Anyway, I adhere the cut out cosmos with foam adhesive. I only applied the adhesive to half of the flower, just on the the right side and left side that laid over the left gate is clear from any adhesive. Finish the card by stamping the hello sentiment from Coming Up Morning Glories set.

I hope today’s card inspire you to get in some creative time this weekend. I’ll be taking my mom to visit a nursery as I want to plant some colorful flowers for our office plant containers and of course, I’ll be putting in some creating time as well. Here’s to a wonderful weekend and may something good happen to you this weekend. Cheers friends…
