I've noticed I do a lot of confession here on this blog and today I'm doing another one.....I don't typically do any fancy folding. Yeah, I know...I get stuck in a rut but it's where I'm comfortable. I think that's why I like doing challenges - it's forces me outside my little box. For my card I used Pattie's wonderful "Pocket Watch" image. I thought about coloring it - but then I decided to just take some inks in various colors and ink up the whole image and paper. I've seen it done but have not done it myself (at least I don't think I have in the past). Shocking - I really liked it it turned out! The fold I used is a double z fold. It's a simple card (as are all my cards), but I did really like the final results. And this card is already in the mail too.
Stop by Pattie's Creations Design Challenge and join the fun. Plus be sure to pick up the freebie available (for a short time).
I'm entering this card into the following challenges:
- Little Red Wagon - Make It Masculine
- Everybody Art Challenge - Watch
- Make My Monday - One For The Boys
- Crafty Ribbons Challenge - Anything Goes With Ribbon

Great masculine looking card. Love the fold you used and the vintage feel.
Zella,
I just love your fancy fold card and the way you colored my image! It looks so vintage too.

Zella- Perfect! This is a great card for a guy. The way you inked the image, gave it a Vintage look to it. Plus, using designer paper with watch gears on it is a great touch for this. Our Dad was a Jeweler/Watchmaker, and this brings back memories of his work bench with all the little extra gears and watch parts he accumulated. I love it!

Loving the fancy folds! Great card! Thanks for joining us at Little Red Wagon.
Very cool card! I'm not great at Fancy folds either but I'll have to check out this Z fold. The easier the better for me! LOL Love the image you used too...very vintage. Have a great weekend! :)
This is a great masculine card, Zella. I really like the inking you did on the image. I need to do more fancy folds too!
Fabulous card Zella. You have inspired me to make a card using this fancy fold.
So glad you went masculine with this challenge. Super image, great fold, and such rich and perfect colors! Hugz!
