Butterfly Accordion Card

I can post this Thank You card now I know it's been received.  The current theme for the Butterfly Challenge is 'A for Accordion Fold Card'.  I decided to make an accordion card with all the Butterfly Challenge elements - 'Accordion Style card/ Any Patterned papers x2/Apricot/ Apple Blossom/Aquamarine + your Butterfly'.  I used a Aqua Promarker so I hope that counts as the right colour blue.  The little butterfly is coloured in apricot, so I think I've covered all the elements with my card.  There are tutorials for accordion cards HERE.  This was a 'new to me' fold and the tutorial was so easy to follow.
The digi image is  'Butterfly Globe' from Bugaboo, one I chose with the voucher I won recently over in the Butterfly Challenge.  I added some colour with Promarkers and covered the globe part in Wink of Stella to add some sparkle.   The image was die cut with a Memory Box 'Stitched Square Layers' die.  The two patterned papers are from a paper pad which came with a craft magazine some time ago.  I used punches to make all the flowers.  

The card folds flat for posting.

I always enjoy making cards with fancy folds, so I'll be sharing my card in Country View Challenge.

I am joining in the following challenges:
