Tri-Shutter Card Open

This is a Tri-Shutter card (tutorial is on Splitcoaststampers here). Really easy, the longest part was coming up with the measurements for the pieces, but I have those written down now so should be easier next time. Love this card. The next post will show how it looks closed. Thanks for peeking!

Hi again! I rather like this card. Of course the picture doesn't do it as much justice as in person but I hope you can get the idea. I do not usually venture into bright colors so this is change of pace for me. Let me know what you think! Thanks for stopping by.

Good to Dream

I got this idea from Andrea Walford here. I like how this card came out. She talked about softening the Crushed Curry by stamping over it with white craft ink.. I only had a creamy looking craft ink, but it worked. Not sure how much you can tell from the picture. Thanks for looking!
