Bride & Groom #1 Gatefold

The sheet was printed onto Super Smooth heavyweight white paper and the three panels were cut out. I took a piece of white card and trimmed and scored this into a gatefold card where the back section was exactly the right width for the main panel from the sheet. I made the two front folding "gates" so that they didn't quite meet in the centre and stuck a piece of silver linen effect card down the inside of the left hand side so that when the card is closed it is visible between the two front panels.

I stuck each panel in place using glue gel as a flat glue to allow for some manoverability to et the panels exactly in the right place. I finished off by using some Sakura clear stardust pen over the buttonhole flowers, the brides bouquet, belt buckle, necklace and head-dress trim. This just catches the light to give a light sparkle when the card is moved about in the light and gives a nice effect.
