I'm on a mission this year to use up more of my patterned papers, Card Candi and brads, use some of my neglected stamps, reduce my pile plain snippets, as well as try out some 'new to me' folds. So this card ticks all the boxes. 😊
The theme for the current Butterfly Challenge is 'U for U Fold Card'. Although I've seen this fold a number of times in blogland, I haven't made a card with this fold.....until now. The card folds flat for posting and there are instructions to make the card HERE. I followed the instructions, but changed the base card to 9" x 6" so the finished card is 6" x 6" when folded.
The stamp is a Woodware one, 'Bubble Bloom Carol', with the flower heads just the right size for Card Candi. I coloured the leaves and border with a green Promarker. I embossed snippets of pink card with a Spellbinders 'Dainty Dots' embossing folder. The snippets of patterned paper were from a Lili of the Valley paper pad, which from memory came as a freebie with a craft magazine a few years ago. The two butterfly brads came from Lakeland, when they used to have a craft department. A computer generated sentiment finished off my card.
This shows the card from a slightly different angle.
