Cards and Craftiness by Jo

I haven't made many cards recently I have been swamped, but I had 5 minutes the other night so I thought I would try a gatefold card that I had been designing in my head for days. My 5 minutes turned to about two hours of me staring at it, stamping "x" amount of images, cutting out bits and pieces to stick on it and finally tipping up a shoe box full of sequins, buttons and ribbons all over the floor. I'm still picking sequins off my socks as I walk through the dining room, why do they resist the hoover?
Anyhoo this was the finished card, it wasn't what I envisioned but it is a good start. The stamped image was made using free stamps from cardmaking and papercraft magazine and I am very impressed. The paisley paper is a free download from shabby princess.
