Simple flap challenge

flap card

For this challenge from Sharon at No Time to Stamp I wanted the aged look of an old cupboard door. I’m not sure that many cupboard doors start out Apricot coloured but I like the effect of the distressed embossing. This is my second finished cuttlebug project and I’m having fun with it.

To create the flap I embossed two flower images and then rubbed the choc chip and the pumpkin pie stamp pads directly over the embossing before sponging on some Encore gold ink. I sponged all the other layers with a choc chip and/or pumpkin pie ink. Under the flap I created an unsponged area by sponging over a rectangle of cardstock.
