I adore the colours in the Triple B mood board but reproducing them is a challenge for anyone wanting to try. Shopping our Stash encouraged florals so I chose a floral DSP from StampinUp which is from last spring I think. And the Fourseasons is all about spring so the DSP works for that challenge too. I had seen a card on Instagram that showed this fold in a video but it didn’t come with any instructions so I winged it and came up with this.
First I scored about 1 and 1 half inches down the side scoring from the pencil mark to the corner. Then I cut some black CS and the Dsp allowing for approximately a 1/8″ border on each piece. Each time I cut the piece at an angle before gluing them together. I added this to the card front and although I didn’t quite get the angle measurement right for the border the fold over hides the error so I didn’t worry about it. Again eyeballing the measurement I cut a small angled piece in white for the top fold and stamped the sentiment before adding it to the card using an MFT Itty Bitty basic sentiment set. The daffodil is from dies from StampinUp and uses scrap pieces and the tiny butterfly is also from that set but was cut from an inked scrap I had on my desk. I matted the inside of the card the same as the front only with white and added a scrap strip of the same floral as the front on the side you can’t see in the photo.
I’m entering into the following challenges:

It’s a beautifully created card, I love daffodils and can’t wait until they bloom, though hope they hold off at lest another month but doubt they will as they are budded, about 2 months early!!
Thank you for joining our challenge at The Four Seasons!

Thanks. My daffodils are showing up in the places where the snow has gone but so far only tiny spears. Hopefully it means spring is coming soon.

Thanks – I too like the paper. Sometimes I like a design so much I don’t want to cut it.

I’m glad it worked as I am totally lousy at figuring out the math for the measurements.
