Fancy Fold Friday - bright Broadway Bound Birthday card

So ... you may have noticed that all of the Broadway Bound cards I have shared to date have had one thing in common... and that is ... that I have used the foiled side of the papers only...

Being really honest... I found myself unable to use the somewhat brighter, lighter, younger in heart side... I was REALLY struggling with colour & imagery overload!

But then I demoed the card in my first class... and made myself put glue on the shiny foil side... and so use the brighter side... and I then became hooked!! I think it was something to do with cutting out the aperture in the centre... so then my eyes were not overloaded anymore...

And now... I love both sides equally... which makes the paper pack even better value for money... suitable for all ages and occasions! Love it when that happens...
And this of course used my new Simple Swing Easel Card method... click here for the Tutorial...
The hats are die cut out of the papers... great touch! 

And the WISH sign/frame was created as described in this post here... which shows the same card using the flip (foiled) side of the papers... and also has more information and photos of the products I used on both cards...
