Tri-fold cards

Hello again

Today's cards are both basically the same design.

 




The first is on a natural white card base with all edges sponged with Walnut Stain distress ink. Papers, slightly smaller then the card, have been cut to fit all panels (I have used two coordinating papers). The papers have been stamped with versamark ink and embossed in silver powder on the dragonflies and stars, and Rustique patina on the sentiments.
The sentiments are from Kaszaaz Dream, Believe Achieve set. The dragonflies are also Kaszazz, with the raised one stamped on vanilla card and die cut using the Flutterby die. The stars are from Stampin'up Simply stars set.
All paper edges are lightly distressed and sponged with walnut ink, then taped to the card base. A small scalloped envelope(Stampin'up) has been die cut and attached to the centre inside panel with a card for a greeting. Rhinestones to the front section of the card complete the design.

 






The second card is a masculine design, is made the same way but has a gear embossed panel on the front instead of paper. There is a stamped and matted image, embellished with a cog which has been coated in crystal effects attached to the front, and a stamped, embossed sentiment on the centre panel.
The stamps used on this card are Carpe Diem, Cogs and mini messages-Greetings, all from Kaszazz.
The front panel has been rubbed lightly with metallic rub, and some candy dots added to gear and cog centres.
I hope you enjoy these cards.
Keep happy crafting
