Well, this post was slowed down by a glitch in my Outlook account. After fixing that (yay, me!), I could get to my email, and download the submission photos.
Thanks to Deborah, Elizabeth, Faye, and Pat for playing along in this challenge! Since only four people played along, I decided to give each of them a $20 gift certificate to Simon Says Stamp! Ladies, please send me an email letting me know the email address you prefer I use for the certificate. Otherwise, I'll send it to the email you used to submit your entries.
Thanks, ladies, for embracing the trifold challenge!
Deborah's card, front panel |
Deborah's card fully open, showing a serene beach scene that completely supports the sentiment and leads the eye to the safe ground of the beach. |
Elizabeth's first entry, sans sentiment. She pointed out that the trifold invites storytelling, and she is keeping her options open for this one. Lovely as a Tree is perfect for this! |
Elizabeth's second entry, which is so colorful and fun! Birds on a high wire...perfect for this layout! |
Faye's adorably colorful and cheerful entry. Note how she grounded her design so effectively. |
Pat did two color variations of her design, starting with a peaceful blue on white. The dots on the third feather are embossed with satin pearl embossing powder...such a lovely touch! |
And here's Pat's striking black on cream version, with the same feather set and embossing but a different sentiment. I can't decide which I love most! |
Thanks again to these ladies for sharing their talent and taking time to try something different.
Mercy, grace, peace, and love,
Susan
Love seeing the different 'takes' on this challenge and your helpful comments on design. Thank you! Please use my certificate for purchasing envelopes for Karen's Card shop. That would make me happy! When is the next challenge? ;)
ReplyDeletePat, that is so very kind! I bought a box of 250 envelopes with a discount coupon and they are already in use. Thank you!
DeleteA surprise to be included among the winners! I will enjoy adding to the gift certificate to enjoy a little fun shopping before my husband goes part-time this fall (he would retire but he's really not ready to stop working at a job he really enjoys.) I made another tri-fold card for DTGD on SCS, am enjoying this challenge. Faye
ReplyDeleteExcellent, Faye! And congrats to your husband.
