Here is my card for the WT552 ~ {10/08/2015} ~ Cats WT552 ~ {10/08/2015} ~ Cats by Cook22 at Splitcoaststampers
I made this card for a girl's birthday. She loves big cats !
Here is what I did for the base of my card:
I used a sheet of 12" by 12" of brown cardstock, folded it in half, turned the page and folded again : so you have 4 equal squares.
I made a cut from the left side all the way to the middle of the cross lines and folded my pages.
If you fold it correctly, you have a left page, a pocket in the middle and a right page.
I used the some pages from the BoBunny "Zoology" collection to decorate my pages, and made also an insert for writing a personal message on the backside.( see second photo)
The sentiments on the inner pages are from Hero Arts.
For decoration I used on the left page a green satin ribbon with leaves, a piece of cord, an iron medallion and woodsies.
On the right side I cut the paper behind the leaves, rolled it up and attached a piece of cord.
Then I filled the gap with a piece of woven net.

What a fabulous card, inside and out. Having the pocket gives even more interest. The papers are fabulous, and I love the twine and leaf-ribbon combination. It would be a great guy card too, but lucky Lena!
