I am not very good with colour matching and as much as i adore paper craft I a the first to admit my biggest weakness is coordinating…
Most times I just toss papers together and hope for the best. Lets just say good Karma and a colour wheel from B&Q has saved my bacon on many a project…
Going through my scrap box I found some beautiful bronzy and green paper and immediately know I wanted to try out the tri-Fold card…
I went for a hybrid size – the card ended up being a a 8in x 7in card… I love bigger sized card, so this was a perfect size for me.
One thing I have found out about doing hybrid project is that it gives me a chance to drag out tools I had not used in ages. Punches, stamps and that Tim Holtz distress thingy (can’t ever remember the name)
I actually forgot I had these gold and silver card candy shapes and Velum was just the perfect thing to add a little bit of umph to my card.
I even had to break out the drippy glue gun. I remember when I bought the thing – I loved it, however it drips like crazy which in turn drives me crazy…
Sneak peek at the almost finished card – and it is shaping up pretty well if I do say so myself..

That card is absolutely beautiful!!
Thanks RosA...
Fun card to make
:)
your colours are great together and the card is amazing.
This looks lovely, and can we see the finished one next week? I've never made one of these.
Well, I have to agree, those colours are stunning and the card is going to be a beaut too! Have you tried different glue sticks? My glue gun is a real cheapy and it doesn't drip and I buy the cheapest and biggest bag of sticks I can find in the dollar store.
I have the same trouble with color coordination but it somehow ends up just fine. :) Love your card!
@Helen.

@ voodoo vixen
Thanks for stopping by - glad you like the card so far..
I saw Argos doing their sheap brand glue gun for about 3quid -I think I will get one - as I am going crazy with the dripping..
Sometimes cheaper is better.

@NatashaMay
I really love when the finished project comes together even when I start out with papers that I am sure will never work together.
