The current Butterfly Challenge is brought to us by the letter J, for joy fold card. I haven't made one of these in a while and it was fun to do again. It's a really easy fun fold That I just forget about sometimes. (Does anyone know why it's called a joy fold? Please leave a comment and let me know!) If you need instructions, Mrs. A the butterfly queen has them here. These cards do tend to flap open. Mrs. A uses a belly band to keep them closed. The top butterfly in the corner on my is on a pop dot and acts as little latch to keep the smaller card open. (If you've never seen a joyfold card, the top, smaller card opens from the left )
That's a digi image, colored in pencils. I was going for light burgundy (aka Japanese carmine) for the flowers. I believe the larger butterfly (from a Spellbinder's set I just picked up on mega clearance) qualifies as jasmine, or a very pale yellow.
This card is entered in these challenges:

Love the joy fold. Beautiful card. Thanks for playing along with us at PIP Challenges.
ReplyDeleteThe joy fold is one of my favourite card shapes to make. Can be made so many different ways and look different each time. I like your array of poppies on your card panel. Thankyou for coming and spinning the butterfly wheel with me this week. Hugs Mrs A.
