Picket Fence Card

Hi there. As you can tell, I'm posting alot of cards lately. I'm just trying to catch up on cards I've made over the past couple of years.
Here's a card I made after seeing one like it by Jen del Muro. She didn't have any instructions or template, so I made up one to share with you.
The finished card measures 4 1/4" x 5 1/2".
Recipe: CTMH CS -White Daisy, Spring Iris, Amethyst & Garden Green, CTMH Inks-Bamboo, New England Ivy, Garden Green, Pansy Purple, Outdoor Denim, CTMH SS-Love In Bloom, Cottage Floral & With Love, CTMH Bigger Brads-Chocolate & Vanilla Cream, pencil crayons.


Sorry for the yellow tint, I couldn't seem to get the photo without it.

Here's a little tutorial on how to put it together.


You'll need:
2 strips each measuring 1/2" x 5 1/2"
3 pickets each measuring 1 9/16" x 4 1/4"
1 card base measuring 3 1/8" x 5 1/2
Here are the pieces already sponge daubed with CTMH Bamboo Ink.
This is how to cut your picket: (Photo not to scale)


Now you'll glue the two longs strips to your pickets. It's important to remember to leave a little extra space on the left side so that you can fold open your card.

Here are the measurements: (Photo not to scale)
I left ~1/8" space in between my pickets.

Here is what you should have:


Now add your card base:


That's it. Pretty simple, eh? Now all you have to do is embellish it.
Enjoy,
