Despite some hiccups with the triangle trifold, I'm please with the turnout. I also included Karen's TLC from last week-embossing folder stamping with the twist of stenciling. I daubed some brown DOx inks on the feather ef, leaving some areas open, then stenciled with speckled egg in the open spots. Inside I used a leftover piece from that technique, a bird and a sentiment. The picture of the inside is included.
I'm not sure if it was user error but it took three tries to measure and score. First time, one of the side's triangles didn't line up. Second time, using a cheaper piece of cs, they did. Third time, using the intended base cs, they didn't so I had to use the first and third tries combined to make one 'fairly well' lined up card. Sometimes I've wondered if my trimmer isn't properly lined up but it's probably my fault. I didn't add a centerpiece on the outside as I didn't want to cover it up.
Thanks, Sabrina and Karen.

Great use from both techniques, the measurements are correct, maybe you made a mistake during the scoring process, the final result is perfect and nobody sees you had troubles!!

Hm, mine folded right, I just had to wrap my head around which way to cut my papers so that they fit. I can see why you didn't add another panel on the front, your ef printing with stencilling is beautiful. (And, yes, it's a bit more work to clean the folder after using gelatos, but if you add those to the folder and mist the watercolour paper, it usually gives a very clean print).
