Diwali card in Gatefold style!

Hello craft lovers!
Happy November!

Diwali is the most important festival celebrated by Hindus in India, the festival of lights will be celebrated on November 7th!

I made this beautiful Gatefold card in Indian Traditional style to celebrate this Diwali!




I started with stamping the Diya image, heat embossed in gold and colored with Zig brushes, fussy cut it!
My card base is white in color and I blended some different distress inks on all the panels.
Now stamped the borders and Paisley images, colored them.
Heat embossed the chip frame in gold. 


Inside Panel




I used the negative part too of the framed chippi and applied different acrylic colors with textures using a palette knife.
Now stamped the sentiments and Ganesha image and heat embossed in gold with borders too. Added  PP in both sides and at the back as well.
Embellished it with some gems, laces and tied it with a golden string with a flower.

Here are some close-up pics:
