Flight and Airy Split Front Card

 I decided to make another Thinking of You card, only this one is in pink, the color that is generally worn in honor of those who have had to face breast cancer.  Although, this card can be applied to other occasions as well. This card is called a Split Front Card. There are different types of split cards. I learned this technique from Patti Dolan, another Stampin' Up! demonstrator.  It is really easy to do and I love the softness and beauty of it!  Check out my video to see how it's done.  Enjoy creating your own!
