TriShutter card

Hi all.  I just finished my first tri-shutter card.  It went decidedly MUCH smoother than my swing card.  I followed this tutorial I found on youtube and was able to follow along with the scoring, cutting and folding in seconds.  Then all you have to do is decorate it as you'd like.  It was so super de duper easy!!!  And because of my pissin' and moanin' about the swing card, you can trust me to tell you the truth if it wasn't as easy as they make it look.  LOL!

The sketch for the front of the card is from Our Creative Corner.  I saw it and thought it'd fit perfectly for a tri-shutter card that I'd been dying to try out.  The theme at Party Time Tuesdays this week is fall birthday card.  Which is perfect for my aunt who's birthday falls right around Thanksgiving every year.  The color scheme started from Off the Wall Craftiness.  I had to use a different color for the card base because I didn't want it blending in with any of the patterned papers I chose, but when you see that it accounts for only 1/8th of an inch of trim around the edges, hopefully it still counts.  Here is the photo inspiration:

 
So without further chattiness on my part...here is my tri-shutter card!
