I am always fascinated by fancy folds for cards but rarely attempt them myself. However, this one, which was offered as part of the Butterfly Spot Challenge seemed easy enough to try. You basically start with a square of double sided paper and make various folds for the result seen here. I used papers by Graphic 45 from The Gilded Lily collection, along with a wood veneer butterfly that i decoupaged with paper from the same collection. The sentiment is by Papertrey Ink. After I folded the square element, it looked too plain so I punched tiny holes in the corners and tied twine through them, with a knot.
Double Trouble challenge 120. I did Thing 1 (3 colors, 2 embellishments, one stamped image)
What a lovely card, great design to show off the Graphic 45 paper! Thanks for joining us at Double Trouble.
