Relaxing Waterside Bridge Card

I found this card that uses the lavender sheet from the gorgeous Scenic Coast DSP paired with the die cut chair from the Relaxing Waterside dies. I thought it just looked so relaxing! Perfect for a summer occasion. I also liked the use of a Bridge Fold for the card design. Just too fun!

Measurements:

Thick Basic White: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE
Basic White: 1/4 sheet (embossed), 3/4" x 4 1/4", scraps
Adhesive Sheet: scrap
Highland Heather: 3" x 4"
Golden Glow (N): 2" x 2 1/2"
Scenic Coast DSP (N): 4 1/8" x 5 3/8"

To Make this Card:

Run 1/4 sheet of White through Soft Waves 3D Embossing Folder.
Fold card base in half. Create "Bridge" base, by cutting each side of front @ 1 1/4" from cut edge to fold.
Repeat for embossed quarter - i.e. cut 1 1/4" from each side (to keep pattern). Keep pieces in order.
To create "bridge", take the 3/4" strip and adhere it 1/2" from bottom of base of card, and to both sides of the outside flaps.
Now, add embossed strips to these front flaps with Multipurpose Glue
Next, take the DSP sheet. Remove 1 1/8" from each side. Again, keeping pattern in order, adhere the outside strips to the outside of areas of the inside of the card. Clear as mud, right. See picture above!
The center piece will get adhered on top of the embossed, center piece of the card design.
The "base" is now complete. Now, to decorate!
Die cut the chair in Highland Heather cardstock. The chair is 2-pieces AND the little "kick plate, front piece" comes off for added detail, or a constrast!. Adhere the 2 pieces together, and the extra piece as well.
Next, die cut the "net" from Golden Glow cardstock.
Lay out how you would like to assemble these 2 pieces, and then adhere to "bridge" with Multipurpose Glue.
Finish by stamping sentiment Highland Heather ink, and fussy cutting around it. I added it to the "net".
I also stamped the "coffee cup" in Highland Heather and die cut it out, and placed it on the chair.
I die cut the 3 sea gulls from white, after adding an adhesive sheet to the back first. (Much easier to adhere!) And added them to the front section.
For the inside, I stamped a sentiment in Highland Heather.
On the outside, I scattered purple sequins.
