ANOTHER ORDER FROM ZAMA

My son's colleague regularly gives me orders for special occasion cards that are not readily available in stores.  Here is one of those orders, on which I merged two Digistamps 4 Joy images, Floral Cross and Freesian Booklet and created a frame around them.


She left the design up to me, but specified the colour blue and the words she wanted added. So I used a white CS base card, and blue DP of which I inked the edges for a little more definition.

The card opens up to reveal the two Bible texts that she had chosen:



and the third fold lifts up to reveal the message:


As the base card was 240gsm thick and there were three layers plus the DP, I needed to find a way to keep the card closed.  A little band of white CS and an off cut of the DP embellished with three pearl top brads from BLUEBERRY BEAR hold it closed nicely now.

I hope the likes the card!
