I've braved the Bridge Fold Card and come out stronger on the other side. LOL! You know I love to try new techniques. Even if they are kind of scary.
I started off by searching my stamp database for "Bridge" and all I found was this Tiddly Inks treasure map (can you spot the bridge?). I thought the treasure chest would be perfect for the foreground, so I colored and cut that out. And what better sentiment for my Teapotter friends than "I Treasure Your Friendship," because I do treasure you all. Then for the bridge strip across the front, I kind of doodled and colored a pile of gold coins to spread across the front. To finish off the card, the treasure map needed a bit of distressing and sponged Antique Linen and I added some pirate brads that I have in my collection.

I do see the bridge on the map - not my kind of bridge, I can tell you. I totally lost my head for heights about twenty years ago, the last time I tried the Eiffel Tower I only made up to the first floor, and that with difficulty. I think this is such a fun fold, I kicked myself afterwards that I was so focussed on my bridge image that I never even realised how well I could have incorporated it with the fold. I think this is a super Tickle card with that sentiment - and I just love those little brads. I bet cards like this would go down well with your sons' friends too .

I always admire people who try all these construction type cards - I get into a mess when I try them - so will stick to the simple folded card. Yes I can see the little bridge in the background. Love the perfect sentiment as well.
