A complicated card fold.....?!

Hey!

Are you ready? It's Friday-Eve - we can almost taste the sweet weekend - let's kick it off in CASE Study style!

Get ready to knuckle down and hit the books by studying this card by our muse for April, Laurie Schmidlin.

Check out the original post of this card here.

So what was I inspired by? Well I'll 'fess up that I was slightly daunted by all those gorgeous embellishments placed to perfection on this design. I decided to follow the basic sketch of the card and adopt a safer, CAS style. *wink*

I was also inspired by the original card's embossed background and decided to tweak that element to cater for patterned paper. This card oozes goodies from Uniko Studio's April Release: the two lattice papers from the Modern Lattice Digital Paper Collection have been lined up perfectly to continue the pattern without hurting your eyes too much! The simple sentiment is from Fontiments - Birthday, and made this card ideal to give to my dad for his birthday yesterday. He liked the card but placed down on its side so I'm not quite sure he can deal with card folds such as this - bless! Maybe next year I should revert back to the traditional fold down the left hand-side....!

Anyways, I digress! We have a sponsor at CASE Study this week too: My Creative Classroom are kindly offering a free space to the class of the winner's choice!
