Open Fence Card Day 5

A Regular Open Fence Card Fold!

Good Morning! As you can see in the photo above, I came up with and created 5 different ways to create open fence cards for you all week long. I called them all Open Fence cards because the colors from the card bases peek through the front.

Today’s card is a Regular Open Fence Card Fold and you can see the Granny Apple Green Cardstock that I glued on the inside peeking through to mimic grass:

Are you ready to create along with me? I have photo steps like I did with all of the cards I showed you. If you missed my earlier posts, you can click on the HOME button at the top and scroll to see them all.
