The Butterfly Challenge finishes today, so I got my skates on to make a card before the challenge ends. There is an optional card shape with each challenge and this time it's a Flap Fold. There are instructions HERE for several flap folds and I've chosen Version 2, the diagonal flap fold, as it's one I've not seen before.
The background is embossed with an Xcut 'Butterfly Pattern' embossing folder. The butterfly is made with two Memory Box butterfly die, 'Pippi' and 'Isabella' and attached just by the body to a Spellbinders scalloped circle die cut. The wings are raised up to add some dimension. Three white pearls finished off my card.
This photograph shows how the card opens.
I am joining in the following challenges:
