todays challenge was to make a twisted card...It has a pocket in the front and inside....I dont know how I did it, but when I cut the two sided dp, I somehow cut it wrong and therefore had to use the same colour on both sections...thus, I also had to change what I was originally going to do on the card...Must be the late hour or senior moment lol...anyhow, this is my design....for the inside, I put the green dp on the bottom with one snowflake and then added the lace... I left the top blank as I will use this for a gift card for my granddaughter at Christmas....
Thanks for taking a peek... hope you like it...

And I thought you meant to do this! Your card looks really nice with the embossed sentiment, and the pearls and lace really dress it up nicely too! (when you make your first cut diagonally on the dp, fold it over just like you did with your scored card, that way when you cut the next line you will have 4 pieces all the right shapes) Hope this helps, Marie-alice.

So pretty and dainty. Love your little snowflakes with the pearl centers.

SUCH a GO-JUS card! I love how he lace looks with the snowflakes!
I understand completely how you made the wrong cuts with the DP. Been there, done that. What I did was... after cutting the DP with the first cut, the DP must be "folded" over JUST LIKE the card would have been folded. Instead, I matched up the OPPOSITE longer sides of the DP which gives still similar pieces but not quite the same. With a bit of trimming to fit... I ended up with a completely different look.
I love making mistakes ;-)!
