Don't fall outta your chairs...but I have another card to show you today! yep, 2 this weekend! how exciting is THAT!?!?
I really wanted to make a card for my oncology nurse, especially since I gave the poor thing & everyone in the chemo room such a fright last time when I had the allergic reaction to my chemo meds and sent them all into a big tizzy. So I used this adorable new nurse image from Jellypark and this great senti from Create with TLC (because in my mind she really is a hero!!!) to create a thank you card.
The design of this card is a bit unusual since the new challenge this week at Pile it On is cards with 2 or more folds. The card is a gate fold with a belly band, but when I scored the sides for the folds, I came up a bit short. Rather than have the folds come up short, I scored twice more on each side to create a pleat or 'V' shape. this adds extra thickness. the belly band then needed to be thicker, so it is actually box shaped. My card now has lots & lots of folds! :)
Papers are new Authentique Glory - absolutely wonderful papers!!! I picked up this fun twine on Etsy - rather than white with the navy it is natural with navy. the rose is made from an old zipper and the heart is punched from a coffee cozy & then inked. a baby button was added for a bit of fun! edges of main image were coated with distress stickles. final touches were made with my handy dandy SU! ink squirty tool.

And thus a new card fold is discovered. LOL I wonder how many new folds get discovered this way. That's why there's no right and wrong in crafting. :-) Your card is fantastic. You've picked the perfect image and I just love Paulette's sentiments. Your nurse friend will love this. Have a fantastic week sweetie!
You're right, nurses are definitely heroes. One of them will certainly appreciate your card with this cute image!

HI JENN!!! It was such a pleasant surprise to pop over to my blog and see your comment. Love, Love, Love your card and you must share how your nurse liked it. As far as the tizzy, I am sure they have had to deal with a lot worse than a well deserved mini tizzy from you sweetie. Hugs to you and happy to see you crafting...I did fall on the floor as I saw it..LOL!
