Here are my inspiration cards for you.
On my first card I have used Bi fold/Burgundy/ Butterfly from the wheel.
I have now added a Card Shape page to the Butterfly Blog and you can see instructions/ hints/tips on how to make a Bi fold card using 3 different methods.
I have used a double sided design paper from a 12" square pad called 'English Moments' from The Works cut down to be 6" x 12" thus making a finished card size of 4" x 6". Butterflies have been repurposed from a previous project. The sentiment is a stamp by Julie Hickey from the ' Essential Sentiments set' which I have stamped onto a Spellbinders (labels 4) die cut.
For My second card I have used Bluebell/Bow/ Butterfly from the wheel.
The base card is made from a digidesign paper by Pink Petticoat Called Dandelion Clocks Blue Quartz. I cut to size and simply added the butterflies which were coloured using my Promaker Bluebell pen. The Cream bow was from my stash. Stamp is by Julie Hickey from the 'I Need Everyday Sentiments' set.
This time I have changed the sizing down to 5.5" x 10.5" to make a finished card size of 3.5" x 5.5".
Design paper is another digipaper from The Pink Petticoat called ' Bold Daisies' from the Isobelline papers. The belly band uses a faux button opening detail from buttons and a piece of thin string found on my desk. Butterflies were punched using SU Butterfly punches. Sentiment is another by Julie Hickey from the same stamp set.
Hope to see you playing along. Challenge is for the usual two weeks.
