You're one cool cat!

Hi everyone, a quick post before I head to bed to share my DT card for the new challenge at 613 Avenue Create. challenge blog.
The theme is Anything Goes with an Optional Twist : Use more than one fold.
I've cased this card template from a friend who saw it online so not sure of the origins of it. It's a normal top fold card with an extra layer (longer than the actual card) attached to it that has an extra fold to create the panel at the front. I've added an extra photo to show it slightly sideways.
Here is what I created:

Products used - Cardstock from SU
Paper was from my scrap pile but I think was SU as well
Images and sentiments were from a recently purchased stamp set and also a stamp set from SU
Punches - Square and Scalloped Square, Small oval, Large Oval and Scalloped Oval.
Acrylic adhesive hearts
Copic Markers
Memento Tuxedo Black inkpad
D/S tape roller & foam dots

Hope to see you popping over to the challenge blog to check out my teamies creations and to add some of yours.
Thanks for stopping by,
Hugs, Sandy
