The theme for September is
MORE THAN ONE FOLD
I made a triple stepper card base from shimmery grey card stock and decorated it using some beautiful woodland themed papers I bought online (unbranded). I had to cut them around quite a lot to get the effect I wanted, The fairy image is from Maremi's Small Art Collage Ephemera...it was really difficult to make myself cut into this book, but I was brave! . The large butterfly is also fussy cut from one of the sheets of paper. I inked the esges of everything as I didn't want any white gaps, then added a fine gold line with a metallic pen. The sentiments are stickers. It's not very often I make a card without any stamps, stencils or die cuts but I did quite enjoy the process although there was more work in it than I thought there would be when I started.
There's more inspiration from the rest of the team over at Fab'n' Funky, where you will also find updated details of our challenges and rules.
Hope you can join us this month.
Thanks for visiting

ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful card. I love this. xxx
ReplyDeleteThat is just super gorgeous, very magical and the colours are so so pretty Chris.
ReplyDeleteRemarkable work — the triple stepper base creates such an impressive stage for those woodland papers, and your careful cutting really pays off in the way each element aligns so naturally. The fairy image is enchanting, and your bravery in cutting into that collage book was well rewarded.
ReplyDeleteThe fussy‑cut butterfly adds lovely dimension, and the inked edges paired with the fine gold pen detailing give the entire card a polished, magical finish. It is a beautifully cohesive project, full of autumn warmth and fairy‑tale charm.
Wow! This triple step card is beautiful! I really love the paper! Every detail is perfect. Thank you for participating in the Creative Creases Challenge! We hope you can join us again soon. Your support is greatly appreciated!
