Pillar fold with decoupage

Occasionally, I have participated in a challenge blog called Creative Creases and as they had requests for guest designers I put my name down . I was flattered to be accepted and this is my card creation.

Because I enjoy fun fold cards and had wanted to try something like this for a while this was the perfect opportunity. After a little research I came up with this version after following a tutorial found HERE. It was easier to make than I expected so after writing down measurements and watching it several times I was able to get a decent result. My papers are a mix from my stash. The background is from Hunky Dory (very old) and the darker purple is from StampinUP. The sentiment is from an older GKD set and I edged it with purple ink. The leaf is a leftover die cut and is from an Altenew set. The Pansies are from a craft club by Crafters Companion. When I first began making cards (oh so long ago) I used to do a lot of decoupage. The kit from this club sure made it easy, as no cutting was involved. I just had to punch out the pieces and add the foam tape. The additional pansies at the corners are actually photocopies of the original pieces and I cut out the bits I required here. The glittery frame are special stickers that I acquired in The Netherlands. Here is another view of the card standing up.

I had fun making this card and have several other decoupage pieces ready to use so more cards will be coming. In the meantime, thanks for joining me today, I appreciate you, your time and any comments you may leave for me.
