Becky's Stampin' Studio: Arched Tri-Fold

I saw this sample by Mary Deatherage and fell in love! I LOVE arches! Originally I had just ordered the dies of the Textured Notes bundle, but I went back and ordered the stamps, too. This is such a neat design. I'm thinking of other ideas!

Measurements:

Pecan Pie: 3 1/2" x 10 1/2"
Mossy Meadow: 3 pcs @ 3 3/8" square
Woven Textures DSP (N): 3 pcs @ 3 1/4" square (I used the same DSP and flipped over one)
Basic Beige: 4 pcs @ 3 1/4" x 4 1/2", scraps

To Make This Card:

Score Pecan Pie base at 3 1/2" - 7". Accordion fold and crease well.
Attach DSP pieces to Mossy Meadow layers and adhere to card base, as shown.
Die cut 3 arches (you'll cut the 4th after you stamp the sentiment). I used the 3rd from the largest, which is what she suggested using, however, I think the 4th from the largest would be better!
Stamp sentiment of your choice in Pecan Pie ink, and then die cut the final arch!
Now, for the rest of the stamping!
Take the "wicker" circle and stamp off onto 3 of the arches, including the one with the sentiment, as shown.
Next, add 2 smaller "branches" in Old Olive ink - full strength. Also stamp the bottom corner of the "solid", back piece.
Run the 2 arches without the sentiment and not the backing, through the Exposed Brick Embossing folder. Set aside.
Now, stamp 2 larger "branches" in Mossy Meadow ink - full strength, onto scrap of Basic Beige. These will need to be fussy cut.
Also, stamp sentiment, for the front, in Pecan Pie ink. Die cut with smallest Textured Notes die.
Now, to assemble!
Lay the Pecan Pie base onto your grid paper. Place a mark 5 1/4" from bottom edge. Take one embossed piece, line it up to the 5 1/4" mark and adhere to base. Repeat with sentiment arch in the center and last Embossed arch on the final area.
Then, adhere the smooth, back arch to the back of the final arch for signing.
Now, to finish the arches.
Place adhesive over the Old Olive "branches", and adhere some looped Linen Thread. Add this to the first and last arches.
Place the fussy cut pieces over the Linen Thread. She added them with Dimensionals, but after mine was finished, I decided that makes the card a little bulky, if you're going to send it. So, I would just adhere them flat. (Then, do you even need to fussy cut them? Hmmm)
Add the sentiment to the first panel with Dimensionals. (That does work!)
Finish with scattered, new Neutral Matte Dots on the Online Exclusives that coordinate with this bundle.
