Dutch Folds

It's the second week now of the current Butterfly Challenge  so here is some more inspiration for you. This card shape is so easy to make ( you will find tutorials over on the challenge blog under card shapes) but you don't have to use the shape to enter your card. You can also combine others colours besides the 3 showing on the wheel.

Card one uses Version III of the Dutch fold .
Wheel elements Dutch fold/ Diamonds/Digi Image/ Dark Orange/ Dartmouth Green/Butterfly.


Th digi image is by Card Mad Fairies Flower 1. I printed the image twice and coloured one of the flowers two times and then fussy cut one of them out to create the 3D image on the card front. Coloured with my Promarkers and a gold gel pen.  Below is showing the card opened up.
Entering this card into the following challenges:
Artistic Inspirations #214 Anything goes.
Use Your Stuff #354 Flora and Fauna.
Through The Craft Room Door # Anything goes.
Colour Crazy #13 Anything goes.
Pile It On #153 Lots of Layers.
Addicted To Stamps '173 Lots of layers stamps or papers.
Crafter's Castle #15 Anything goes.

Card Two uses Version II of the Dutch fold .
Wheel elements Dutch fold/ Denim Blue/Butterfly.

I have used patterned paper by The Works layered up  and two pre cut butterfly toppers from my stash.  Silver stickers for the sentiment and silver edging to form the frame work.

Entering this card into the following challenges:
Southern Girls # Frame It.
Creative Fingers #161 Anything goes.
Lil Patch Of Crafty Friends #103 Anything goes.
Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge# Anything goes.
Love To Craft # 33 Anything goes.
Crafts Galore #62 Anything goes.
Lets Craft and Create # Anything goes + Optional Beautiful butterflies.

Card Three also  uses Version II of the Dutch fold .
Wheel elements Dutch fold/ Dartmouth Green/ Digi Image/Butterfly.
The digi  image is by A Day for Daisies 'Wax Window'  and again I have printed off twice and coloured two of the flower up as extras and fussy cut out. Coloured using my Promarkers and a silver gel pen.  The butterflies are  puffy stickers from my stash. (It is amazing what you find when you have a good sort out!)

The sentiment is by Xcut which I die cut 3 times and layered up to give dimension.
Entering this card into the following challenges:
Pattie's Creations # Flowers.
Tuesday Throwdown #429 Anyhing goes.
Simply create Too# 148 Anything goes with no twist.
Creative Craft Cottage # 117 Not patterned papers.
