I am enjoying doing gate fold cards for today's WT and decided to combine with Lisa's VSN-feathers; and this week's colors, basic black, metallic gold, metallic silver. I have been in love with metallics ever since I started this creative journey and I often want to add metallics when I can't. So I'm taking advantage of permission to do so. It's hard to photograph this twist gate fold because it doesn't stand up well and it doesn't lay very flat either. I diecut a feather in black and edged with both silver and gold ep and then diecut two feathers out of the handmade paper for the inside.
Thanks for all the challenges!

The swirl paper is amazing, and the feather cut from it looks fantastic. Odd that you had trouble getting it to stand, a friend had had the one I made as a sample two years ago on her mantelpiece ever since, she only took it down at the start of this month. Maybe the handmade paper is heavier enough to affect the balance.
