There is a instructional VIDEO at the bottom of this post.
The Gypsy File is available for this card by email. Just copy and paste this email to your personal email account winacard@gmail.com and let me know which Gypsy file that you are wanting.

I am so, so, so excited about this card… I have played with my Cri-Kits enough to be able to incorporate them into my kind of designs… so this card was so fun to make… I use by Cri-Kits pens for the background and for the flag… I am so excited about how this turned out…and it gives the illusion of even more depth. I so hope that you like it too!!… I will be sending this to Dru at Cri-Kits to take with them to the CHA Show in Chicago… how fun is that… too bad I can’t fold myself up in the card… I cherish your comments and thank you so much for looking!

I love sharing the instructions and files for my cards but I do ask that if you use my instructions or files to recreate my card and place it on your blog or somebody else’s blog that you give me the credit for the original design. I also ask that you do not submit my designs for publication, profit or for any contest. Thank you.
