Guest Desinger - Donna Phelan

Welcome to another "Guest Designer Friday!" Today I'm sharing a beautiful card created by the winner of the April Link Party...Donna Phelan of Crafting By the Beach. Donna not only created a gorgeous interactive card to share with us today, but also included a mini tutorial with LOTS of photos! Let's get right to it...Donna says,

"Good Morning!
I am sharing a little interactive card with you today.  I was inspired by Dawn's Stamping Thoughts, her Hubby designed this particular sketch.


Top Folding A-2 Card.
Black card base, 4 1/4 x 11 inches, scored at 5 1/2 inches.
White layering weight card stock, 4 1/8 inches x 5 1/4 inches
Polka Dot Designer Paper, 3 7/8 inches x 5 1/8 inches.



Using the Memory Box Sideshow Tickets I die cut once from Black card stock and Floral Designer Paper.  Adhered with Scotch ATG Adhesive.


I added  Fun Foam to the back of my panel using Scor Tape.  This creates a nice 'channel' for my smaller Memory Box Sideshow Tickets which is cut in White card stock, layered with a Red Memory Box Row Of Poppies cropped die cut.  Ribbon added for the pull tab.


Sentiment panel Folk Filigree and Happy Spring stamp sets, by Gina K Designs.
Raven Black ink.
Spellbinders Standard Classic, Heart, and Scallop Circles die cuts.
Red and White Gingham Ribbon.
Black Ribbon Tab.
Foam Dots.


A hidden surprise inside.


A little bit of dimension.


Classic Black and White with a POP of Red."

This is a grand card with the black and white and a pop of red when you pull out the ticket. It is not only fun, but also very pleasing to the eye. Nice job!
