Recently, while at Stamping 411, I saw this waterfall card by Craftyhazelnut and just had to try one. As with many fancy folds, it's pretty pie-easy once you get the hang of it. The tutorials by Splitcoaststampers and Susan Quinn were excellent and very helpful, but I really had trouble visualizing this particular concept.This is only the second waterfall card I've made (excluding a couple of tries last year that we won't discuss), and I really like the mix of simplicity and detail.
You may be thinking, I love the little surprise images, but wouldn't the extra layers inhibit the mechanism? Well, yeah. But they're so cute!
I used the Color Throwdown combo of kraft, pink & pear, and ended up using two tones of each. I could not get enough of the pink embossing powder! I really fought buying detailing scissors, but they made this much easier...and tons of fun.
Inspiration:Color Throwdown Callenge #125: kraft, pink & pear

ReplyDeleteOk..if anything made me want to roll all over the floor in laughter, it was looking at this and thinking you thought I could do this. OH MY WORD? I would not have clue, I will look at the tutorial and see though..but you are so sweet to think I had it in me :)
