The theme of the current Butterfly Challenge is 'B for Bookmark Card'. The other elements for this challenge are Burgandy, Banana, Briar Rose, Baby Blue, Buttons or Bows and a Butterfly. I used all the elements, except for Burgandy. The instructions for the Bookmark Card Fold can be found here.
The patterned paper is from an old Pink Petticoat paper pad, which came as a cover gift with a magazine. I used a Couture Creations 'Fireflies' embossing folder. The butterfly was made with Poppystamps 'Lyndon Butterfly' and 'Elsa Butterfly' dies and I finished off the front of my card with two green buttons, matching some of the flowers in the patterned paper.
The corner bookmark comes off and can be used to slip onto the corner of the page of a book. As I made a side opening card rather than a tent fold card, the message will be written on the inside of the main card blank. I added a Memory Box 'Kensington Branch' die cut to the inside of the front panel. I die cut it in green, yellow and pink. I kept the green as the base and layered over the snipped off pink butterflies and yellow flowers.
I am joining in the following challenges:
