Today's challenge was to use folds in our cards. I have wanted to use this flamingo paper for a while to make a card for my good friends. They were married a few years ago and tacky pink flamingoes was the theme. I made a 5X5 inch gatefold that ties with pink organza ribbon. The inside flaps are covered with pink Basic grey dp to cover the eyelet and ribbon. I clear embossed my giraffe because I didn't have an orange that matched the dp. I cut and colored his spots with a Copic sepia marker. I used a black gel pen to add the smile and eye to his face. TFL!

Oh Gwen, you never cease to amaze me w/your work. I'm not gonna like when you go back to school! If you have friends that love pink flamingos, then this is the paper for them for sure! Your the inside dp w/those guys! Your striped outter dp is just wonderful along w/those heart eyelets and giraffe. Great challenge card, girl!
