Freshly Made Sketches 395

It's my turn to be the hostess at Freshly Made Sketches and, as I frequently do, I designed a square card!  I just love those because they are somewhat unexpected!  For my card I did a bit of a "fancy fold" which presented some challenges when I had to take pictures of it, so I apologize in advance for the lousy pics!



As you can see from the next two pictures, this card opens in thirds.   I had a terrible time getting the folded version to stay in place long enough to snap a picture.  Temporary tape was useless so I added a tiny bit of permanent tape and crossed by fingers that I could unstick it when I was done!  The next two pics were almost as difficult, but I just snapped a couple of quick picks with my phone and called it a day.


I played along with the tic-tac-toe challenge at The Paper Players - the last row across - although my "wood" is of the faux variety!  And the fancy fold idea came from Just Us Girls .


Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you are inspired to play along with my sketch.  As always our Freshly Made Sketches design team has created some amazing cards for you to see.  See you in the gallery!

LOL, yes, those fancy folds sometimes do present photography problems...I had the same thing with my card for today! BUT...yours is wonderful, I love that big bold flower and it looks great against that amazing background! We are so thrilled that you played with us at the Players this week!
