Bitten By the Bug 2 Challenge - Rainbow Cut

This week over at Bitten by the Bug 2, we are challenging you to use the rainbow cut from the Once Upon a Princess cartridge.  You can find the image on page 55 of the booklet and it is the 4th row down, second image over on the keyboard overlay.

I decided to try my hand at what I will simply call a modified gate-fold card.  In other words, I cut the "gate" and taped the bottom 1/3 of the card shut and embellished it instead of leaving the whole card-front open. I'm not sure why I decided to try the gate-fold this way, it just seemed like the thing to do at the time.  It's not the kind of card I would typically make, even so, I didn't really mind the finished product...until I went to take a photograph and realized that it would not stand up on it's own... where's one of those flower frogs when you need them? :-)

At any rate, all and all, this card is one that I would not typically make, even if it wasn't gate-fold as I don't typically select images like this to do my projects.  However, this is kinda what BBTB2 is all about you know, challenging us to use our Cricut... so, mission accomplished. I used it! :-) Not that I need incentive to do so though! LOL... Do you?
