Vintage Kingfisher and Swallow Fold Back

I copied to glossy photo paper and cut out all the elements. Using white gate fold card I matted and layered lavender and pale green background paper and on one of the fronts lavender and cream card. I matted the main picture to the inside of the card and the lavender with picture to the front as an overlap. I added some white vines to the left side before adding two layers to the picture, I then added six pearls and the Birthday Wishes. On the opposite side front I added lavender vines, six pearls and the For You greeting. I have lightly coloured the outside and inside pictures to bring out some accents.

This is such a delightful design, one which is suitable for male as well as female and for various occasions. I have made it up in a different way to what the designer intended, this is what to me makes it special. If you can alter things around and still have a lovely card, the designer has given me inspiration and some artistic interpretation is possible, fabulous!
