I made a birthday card and used the word "GRAD."
G - Green-glitter
R - Ribbon-round (die cut)
A - Arrow (lace weaving)
D - Dimension (image layers)-die cuts
I followed the tutorial (Lattice/Braided Fold) from Sam Calcott for the lace folding part on the inside, and made first her cutting pattern:
My image is from an old decoupage sheet from Precious Marieke, cut by hand into several layers and made 3D.
My stamped sentiment on the inside is from Marianne Design saying:" Especially for your birthday:
Health and many good wishes ; the most beautiful things of life surrounded by dear people".

I really want to do that fold I always admire it when I see it on cards. Great layers and colors too and terrific card with your "GRAD" letters. Thank you so much for playing along.
