We want to thank each and everyone of the sponsors for their generosity. It has been greatly appreciated.

Today's project is also for a card swap this month.  We were to do a gatefold card.

Here's a couple of cards:  the one on the left is chalked and the one on the right is not.  I don't know if you can see how much it adds to the cards to chalk with white but it makes the paper look velvety!

The first few I used a regular hole punch and fancy corner rounder.  Subsequently, I found a snowflake corner rounder that added so much to the design!

 Open card:

 Back of the card:

I used a typical A2 size card but instead of a half fold, I created the gatefold.  It is scored at approximately 2 1/4" from one end and 3 1/4" from the other end.  The centerpiece inside the card is 5 1/4" x 4".  I used TPC Brushed Cotton Navy paper, embossing ink and Ranger embossing tinsel bridal.  The stamps are TPC Christmas Glamour and Hampton Art Snowflake Horizon.  I chalked the edges of the inside paper with Versamagic Night Sky and the outside with Creative Memories white chalk.  The inside sentiment is stamped with Adirondack Denim ink on white cardstock.  I also later used a Fiskars snowflake corner punch.

I hope you have enjoyed today's card.  Don't forget to leave a comment for a chance at my blog candy and Lisa's!
