Pile It On! Challenge - Tri-fold Card

The theme of this week's Pile It On! Challenge is:

'Tri-fold Cards'

Our sponsor for this challenge is the fabulous:

Photobucket

Who are very generously giving a $15 gift certificate to the Simon Says Stamp store for the lucky winner!

There are many styles of tri-fold card, most of which don't actually have three folds! I've made a 'zig-zag' card...here's a view of the front:


I used an A4 piece of card for the base, folding it to make a DL sized card, trimming the top on the diagonal, then I used my EK Success 'Scalloped Diamonds' punch along the top. The papers are from the 'Eskimo Kisses' collection by BasicGrey, and I distressed the edges with my distressing tool, before adding faux stitching using my CutterBee Bug and a white gel pen. The fairy is a Wild Rose Studio stamp, called 'Ella with Flowers', which I coloured with watercolour pencils, adding some sparkle with a Sakura Stardust pen, and 'Ice Crystal' Stickles. The flowers are a mixture of Prima and Wild Orchid Carfts, and the sentiment is a Paper Make Up stamp.


Here are the challenges that I've Piled On!:
