Fancy Fold with a Book Mark

Good morning all!  Looks like we're in for a nice bright sunny day....and I hope the same for you.  My card today was a little difficult to photograph, so I've provided a few different views.



You will note that it's a tri-fold, and I have decorated all six sides, primarily using coordinating DP, faux stitching and a stamp set from Technique Tuesday (Dog and Pony Show).  As it's for a 4 year old who loves animals, I figure he can have fun colouring these little critters.

The first picture also shows the removable bookmark, made with Magnolia's Edwin with Bike.  Perfect for a little guy who loves his books and likes to ride!  I've coloured with copics, then cut out the image, mounting it over the frame for a bit of interest.

The DP is all from my stash, ages old, and heaven knows when I purchased the stamps, but I've inked the edges with a new DI...ripe persimmon.  So there is something new on my card! (lol)

Thanks for visiting and have yourselves a wonderful day!

    Just fabulous Joyce and such fun DP and images! He will be kept busy coloring, at least for a short time.
    Yup, we had snow! Unbelievable this time of year. Thanks for thinking of me.

    Adorable card and the book mark is such a good idea. Coloring and reading, two very good things for the little ones to do. Thanks for sharing.
