Welcome to Card Patterns #19! My birthday falls in the 19th so it's my favourite number :) I love this week's sketch so much & decided to flip the sketch 90 degrees CCW to make my card. So I began by made a swing card using a kraft cardstock base. You can find the tutorial over at split coast here.
The My Graphico images are resized using Adobe Photoshop CS3 but you can use any other photo imaging program on your computer for e.g. microsoft paint. Once I was happy with the sizes of the images, I printed them out first on regular printer paper and then cut small pieces of patterned paper that I wanted to use, adhered on to it with repositionable adhesive & ran it through the printer again. Came out perfect & really easy to do!
Here's what the card looks like when its closed:
