Fancy & Funky Fun Fold Friday

Welcome to another edition of Fancy & Funky Fun Fold Friday.

Today’s card is a swing front fold card I saw on Facebook from Stamp with Laurie - a fun way to create a unique swinging focal point for your card design.

My colour palette is inspired by over at AAA Colourful colour themed challenges Colour board #23 - this Blue floral mood board was a perfect push to get my new True Blue Floral DSP out and play with it! 

I am playing with goodies from my January preorder. The Fragrant Layers bundle from the online exclusive, the December product of the month True Blue florals DSP featuring Balmy Blue and Night of Navy colour palette, Opal Round embellishments and coordinating Balmy Blue, Night of Navy and Old Olive blends for my coloured card design.

A tip from my mistake - make sure to glue your front focal layer on the correct side of the card front so it will swing when opening. So if card base is facing you - you want to adhere the front focal layer on the right hand side. When decorating the front focal layer make sure your image or embellishments do not go over the edge of the right side.
