I have made gate fold but never double ones!  I have lots of double sided paper and this is a good way to use it.
There is a tutorial at SplitCoastStampers.

Flower Pot - GDT card for Scribbles Designs

It is time for more inspiration for the current challenge at Scribbles Designs.  You have until Nov. 14 to submit your entry.  See the details here. We hope to see your entry soon!
For this card, I used the image called Flower Pot, available at the Scribbles store.

 

I used Prisma colored pencils and some shiny gel pens to color the image.  The DP is from my stash, and the strip at the left is Washi tape.  The flower was a prize from the Netherlands - the label says RMS.
To back the image I used a technique from the current Falliday Fest challenge at SplitCoastStampers.  The technique called for inking up an acrylic block and applying the ink to the cs  for a background.  I opted to use a light touch with the ink for a shadowy effect.  (Hint - for a digi image, I first printed one on scratch paper to determine where the image would print on the cs.  I measured in from the edge of the cs, and then stamped from the acrylic block.  Let it dry, then ran it through the printer.  Voila!  The image printed on top of the bg.  But I am sure you can figure this out  LOL!!)

Scarecrow for Halloween - DT card for QKR Stampede

I don't usually do Halloween cards, so this cute scarecrow will have to do!  He does not seem to be scary enough- it looks like he is attracting birds rather than scaring them LOL!  The bats and birds in the background are part of the DP.  At the bottom is a piece of felt - I cut it to look like a fence or dried grass - take your pick.  This is for one of the Falliday challenges at SplitCoastStampers.  I added button dies tied with twine.
This week the challenge at QKR Stampede is once again Anything Goes, with a Halloween Option.  This QKR image is called Scarecrow with friends.  You may enter the challenge a maximum of 3 times,  Winners receive QKR images.  The deadline for entries is 3 p.m. eastern time on Thursday.
