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:
