My Besties "Making Faces" Garden Girl with a Fancy Fold card

I am always inspired by what i see.  What's that game?  Pictionary?   Or remember when someone would draw a squiggly line and you had to make something with it?  That's how i feel about making cards and using images.  I see more than just an image, i "see" what i can do with it besides coloring it and placing it on a card..it challenges me to do something different every time. 

So what was my "squiggle" line.. well, the image and a fancy fold card and figuring out "how" i wanted to put the two together.

If you have been following me, you might know i fussy cut most of my images.  Well, this image with the curly lines was a bit harder and challenging for me to cut out..some times i just cut the little curly bits off, however, this one needed the strawberry vines..i think..so i intricately cut them out and added more color so i had a bit more room to cut too. :)

So here is my card using My Besties "Making Faces" Garden Girl, the card is open:

Here is what it looks like closed and close-up:

My Besties 3D Decoupage featuring the Mermaid

This week at My Besties 3-D Deco Challenge blog we have another great challenge for you!

The theme is to use a Fancy Fold on your 3-D My Besties card/project. 

To participate in our challenges go here:

All we ask is that your My-Bestie Image has 3 or more layers, making it raised up from the surface of your Card/Project and to follow the challenge theme.

Some more info about the My Besties 3-D sheets available for you to use:

These sheets are fun and easy to use!  They are all pre-colored for you, all you do is print out your sheets, cut out the pieces you wish to use and layer them with foam tape, foam dots/squares or Silicone glue. 

For this project i am using Mermaid found at the My Besties store here.  I combined two different Fancy Folds to make one.  I used the Upright "Z" fold and an Easel card.

side view, the large pink striped star on the upper right and the small pink star on the upper left hold the top of the card for the "Z" fold:

The card unfolded and laying "flat" so you can see the construction:

To make it an easel card, i added a flap under the "Z" fold.

To find the Decoupage sheets in the My Besties Etsy store click here.

 Dies i used:

The doily die around the image is from Marianne dies, the bubbles and the delicate bow in the corner  and the curly waves are from Memory Box.  The stars holding the card and the mat around the gem are from Nellie Snellen.  I do not recall where the side star border is from..the die is black metal...don't know if that helps?
