A second post today, please scroll down to see my earlier post.
The theme for the Butterfly Challenge this fortnight is 'M for Mini Miura Fold'. I've never heard of this fold before or even seen it, but Mrs A has put the instructions HERE. I've included all the elements of the challenge Misty Moss/Mandarin/ Maroon/Metal and a Butterfly. The floral patterned paper is a sort of light maroon, so I hope that counts. There are mandarin coloured stripes and I added a moss coloured leaf.
The card is kept closed with a belly band. The little metal butterfly on the belly band is silver, although it looks more grey in the photograph. The patterned paper is from a Dovecraft 'Garden Party' paper pad. Flowers and leaf dies are from the Lisa Horton box magazine.
This photo shows the card open, with a layered die cut label for the message.
I am joining in the following challenges:

I've never heard of this fold before either, but you nailed it beautifully! Love those pretty papers!
ReplyDeleteNot heard of this fold before but you've done it beautifully and shown it well with the photos. I often wonder who dreams up all these fancy folds (fancy name for this one too).
ReplyDeleteHi Liz,
ReplyDeletewhat a brilliant shaped card not seen one of those before.
Love your wonderful version it's gorgeous.
The papers used are so pretty as well.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Another fabulous fold! Thanks for the instructions! This is very clever, and kudos for including all the elements of the challenge.
ReplyDeleteWow! This is a great fold and I love the choice of papers and images you used on it.
ReplyDeleteThis card shape lends itself to so many ways of creating the design using different papers. I love this combination that you have used. Thankyou for coming and playing in the garden with me this challenge. Hugs Mrs A.

ReplyDeleteWOW - that's a lovely shaped card. Might have to have a go at the bit of paper engineering myself! Thanks for the link to the instructions. LOVE your version.

Another fabulous shaped card Liz and such pretty papers too. This is not one I have come across but looks complicated and folds flat for posting which is great. I love the papers and the wonderful die cut flower and leaf and a metal butterfly too which finishes it perfectly. x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Liz. I like the papers you used and that adorable butterfly charm. I hadn't heard of this fold either but did enjoy making it. I think this is one of those folds that I will go back to.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a fabulous fold Liz, another new one to me! Love the colours and papers you’ve used.
