This is my first EVER triptych and I made it for my Dear Sweet Friend, Loretta, who lives in Katy, Texas and is a True Artist! I hope she likes this:
Warning - LOTS of photos!
I used three chipboard coasters:
This is the inside with all three coasters open.
This is the triptych all folded up and how I will put it in the envelope.
Left side closed - I made the leaves match the inside third coaster.
Left side open, right side closed - again I made the flower match.
Then I started adding Tim Holtz Remnant Rubs Life Quotes
I LOVE the music notes - wish, wish make a wish
I used more remnant rubs on the front cover - hello friend, enjoy today, best day ever, and her birthdate. You can also see the TCW Mini Specimen stencil with Wendy Vecchi's Studio 490 metallic gold embossing paste - LOVE! and the TCW Chevron Tile Stencil I applied WV Studio 490 white embossing paste through and painted with Silks Acryllic Glaze Sky Blue. I wanted it to look like book binding. I made holes and tied it all together with seam binding that matched the inside art.
As much as I hated to because I hate my handwriting, I signed it for my friend with a Fude Ball Black pen.
If you want to see the process I used for making this triptych, the details are over on the eclectic Paperie blog.
I hope you like it but more importantly, I hope Loretta will Love it
