Well everybody here is my take on the Borders Challenge:

I think you have gathered my Favorite Color is PINK!

I used hammered White card stock as my main card and folded

 it so that there was a bit of the inside showing.

I folded 1" in again.

I layered the card with lovely DP paper and Green Card

In the inside I layered the card again with the same DP papers on the Green

with a hint of the White Card showing

This lovely bunch of Roses is a wonderful stamp
by SweetStamps.com

I Promarkers to colour it in.
The die is a Spellbinders die and I layered with the Pink Plain card
I ink the edges with Distressed Ink, Spun Sugar

Well here is my take on it!

This month it is a real challenge for me I decided to make a Napkin Fold Card

I have never made 1 before, but this is going to 1 of many.  

I loved making this Card and its Banner

Close

Open

For my main card I used a 12 x 12 Hammered White Card

I layered it with Orange Gingham 12 x 12 DP

and a 12 x 12 Plain Orange DP

For my banner I also used the white hammered card stock and layered with the 

Gingham and Plain  Orange DP

I used a Flourish Medallion SweetCuts Die

and layered it on Orange DP 

I made this lovely bow from the same DP paper

The center of my bow is the circle center that was left after

I cut this same die for the inside of my card into 4 corners

I added a Orange Gem to the center

The inside of my Napkin Card I used the lovely Daisy Center Medallion SweetCuts Die

I added a Orange Gem in the center

My corners I created by cutting the Flourish Medallion SweetCuts Die

into 4 pieces and saved the round circle in the middle for my bow
  

This lovely bow I created with the Envelope Punch Board

I cut a strip of the Orange DP Paper into a length of 7 1/8 X 1 inch

I punched at the 1 1/2 inch mark and 3 1/2 in mark flipped the paper 

and again at the 1 1/2 inch mark

Do this on both sides

Punch the tales of the bow

Stretch the 2 middle bits of the bow with a bone folder

Glue the bow tales underneath the middle of the bow, 

make sure that the negative side does not show

Add a something to the center of your bow

If you wish to layer your Bow you can create a layer

Layer for Bow

I cut a strip of white card  3 1/4 X 1 1/4 inch

Used my Punch Board and cut at 1.1/8 inch mark on the punch board both sides

and punched the ends to make the tags

This formed my base layer of my Orange Bow just for another layer to make my Bow pop.

 Add your bow to your layer and finish the bow off

by adding a decorative detail to the center of the bow

If any further questions regarding this bow please just email me.
