Comforting Thoughts on Lily Pond Lane Card 1

 Hi Crafting Fiend,

I took inspoiration for today's card from Christine Bertram & Rose Coleman who designed a class around the Lily Pond Lane DSP. The idea was that you use whatever sentiments you may already have on hand. I loved that idea, so here is my version of their Gatefold card. 

The card base is Granny Apple Green cut to 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored, folded and burnished at 2 1/8" & 6 3/8" to form the basic Gatefold. 

The cattail print DSP is 2 pieces cut to 1 7/8" X 5 1/4" and adhered to the two sides of the card front leaving an even border around all the edges.

The focal piece is a stitched rectangle die-cut that is 3" X 4 3/8" that I found in my scraps, a piece cut to 3" X 4" would work just fine. Only put adhesive on the left side of the focal piece when adhering it to the card front. The DSP is 2 3/8" X 3 3/4" The sentiment is stamped with Pretty Peacock. The mama & baby ducks were fussy cut and adhered with Dimensionals. The cattails were also fussy cut. I used multipurpose Liquid at the base of them and pieces of cut up Dimensionals at the top to make it look like it is growing out of the paper. 

Inside, the center scenery piece of DSP is 4" X 5 1/4" The piece on the left side is 2" X 5 1/4" The ducks for both were all fussy cut and adhered with Multi Purpose Liquid Glue. The Baic White piece on the right side is 1 7/8" X 5 1/4" the sentiment is stamped with Pretty Peacock, the cattails are fussy cut and adhered with Multi Purpose Liquid Glue.
