The Butterfly Challenge this time is 'B for Belt and Buckle Card'. I haven't seen this fold before so was keen to try it out. You can find the instructions HERE. There are also a choice of six colours + border or Birthday Wishes..... plus the usual butterfly. For my card I've chosen to use the Shaped Card and Birthday Wishes. My card includes four of the six colours (although I only needed to use two)... Buttermilk, Bud Green, Burgandy and inside there is Baby Pink.
The patterned paper is from a Wild Rose Studio paper pad 'Butterfly Garden'. It was a cover gift with a magazine dated 2012! I added three burgundy pearls to pick out the burgundy in the butterflies.
I decided to put the sentiment inside and it's covered by the 'belt' when the card is closed. The sentiment is a stamp from the Stampin' Up 'Humming Along', stamped with Versafine 'Crimson Red', which is a lovely burgundy shade of red.
I am joining in the following challenges:
What a great shape! Beautiful card, Liz.
