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.

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.
