A few days ago, I watched a video by Jennifer McGuire where she shared a very interesting card design technique- Bridge cards. I LOVED how beautifully and simply she explained the technique. I tried making a similar card using my new dies and stamps from Sizzix.
The background was sponged using distress inks to mimic the soft winter sky. The stamped and die cut images were colored with Zig marker pens.
How do you like it? Have you ever tried making a bridge card?
The most interesting thing about this kind of card is that although it looks dimensional, it easily slides inside an envelope, which makes it easily mail-able! As soon as the recipient removes the card from its envelope, it pops open to its dimensional form. It also makes a cute keepsake adorning a side table, as it can stand on its own.
Here's the ink to Jennifer McGuire's amazing tutorial:
