Dutch Fold Card

I thought I'd try a new fold on a birthday card I need to make for a friend.  I've been meaning to try this fold for ages, but somehow have never got round to it.  I had to play around with the measurements I found online so I could make a finished 6 x 4 card.

I used three rubber stamps I bought I long time ago, 'Glasgow Butterfly', 'Glasgow Motif 2' and 'Glasgow Square'.  I have quite a few of the Glasgow Rose stamps, and they are some of my favourite stamps to use.  The images were stamped with Memento 'Tuxedo Black' and coloured with Promarkers.  All the dies I used were Spellbinders Nestabilities.  

 This photo shows the card closed.

I decided not to put a sentiment on the front of the card, but use the 'Glasgow Square' image inside the card so I can write the sentiment and greeting in the middle of the image.

I am joining in the following challenges:

    So pretty, and this is a most interesting fold (I happen to be fold challenged!) Love this wonderful butterfly motif, and the color you chose. It looks very special with the design you selected. Good for you at figuring out the measurements especially with having to adjust them. TFS & Hugs

    It looks very elegant and very glass stained window looking. This is one of my favourite card shapes as once you get the measurements right its a breeze to make. Thankyou for fluttering into the garden for this challenge. Hugs Mrs A.
