The Butterfly Challenge this time is 'F for Four Panel Card'. Mrs A has put the instructions for this fold HERE. I altered the measurements slightly to make a 6" x 4" card with the panels all the same width. The additional elements are Four Panel card/Flowers/Forest Green/French Rose/ Flax/Fuchsia/Butterfly and I've included all the elements on my card.
This is the card when it's closed flat for posting. The butterfly was made with an old Spellbinders butterfly die using fuchsia and flax coloured card. The SU sentiment was stamped with Versafine 'Rain Forest'.
I found some patterned paper with Forest Green, French Rose, Fuschia flowers with a Flax coloured background. All the patterned paper is from a paper pad from The Works. I made a flowers in three of the colours, using a Poppystamps 'Sweet Pea Stem' die to put on one of the inside panels. I also punched a flax coloured butterfly, which you can just see to the left of the sweet pea. I added a plain panel for the message.
I am joining in the following challenges:

This is such a beautiful card Liz, I love the patterned papers you've used and the fact that the floral one is a surprise when you open the card.

What a great card shape, and although I don't use much patterned paper these two you have used are really beautiful, and the sweet pea and the little butterfly look great against the plainer green one, and a delightful larger butterfly and lovely sentiment on the front...a very special creation! x
ReplyDeleteGreat fold and a beautiful card.

I love that pretty paper from The Works. They don't seem to have much in there at the moment. So pleased you made a card using the four panels. Thankyou for coming and playing in the Butterfly Garden with me. Hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteIt's been quite a while since our local branch of The Works had any 12 x 12 paper pads. Not much in The Range either. xx
DeleteThis is just so beautiful, lovely colours and fab fold x
ReplyDeleteA pretty card for the butterfly challenge and well done for trying the four panel fold - afraid I chickened out of that option.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Liz. I’m hoping to have a go at one of these this morning, mind you it might take me all morning to find some suitable papers!
ReplyDeleteLove your take on the 4 panel design.....it is super cool
