Time for another Butterfly Challenge and we are onto the letter K.
I have two completely different versions to show you and there are tutorials as normal over on the Butterfly Blog on the card shapes page.
Kilimanjaro = light blue
Kombu green = dark sage
Kobi = pale pink.
Version I is made with a small kite fold which is attached to the front of a normal card base so the card stands up and there is extra room inside the base to add an additional greeting or message. The kite itself opens up to reveal space for a message and closes with a velcro strip.
Using all six elements of the wheel.
Here you can see the kite fold opened up. It closes with the addition of the velcro strip. Below you can see the card standing up as a tent fold. There is no reason why it can't be made as a conventional card opening from the side. I have only just thought of that!! If you did then the base card would be cut at 9"x 6 with the 9" folded in half to make a 4.5"x 6" card.
Version II
Using: Kite Fold/Knots/Kilimanjaro/Kobi/Butterfly.
This is a stand alone Card and uses larger dimensions for the kite shape. It also has a different construction.
The challenge is running for 2 weeks and will therefore close on Tuesday 30th March 8pm.(GMT).
Hugs
and continue to Stay Safe.

These are fabulous Mrs A, the folds are new to me and look very impressive! xx
How unique and what amazing cards. I have never seen this type of fold before and it is so striking. What lovely names for the colours too Mrs A. x.
These are so different than anything I've seen. The papers are gorgeous and spring like, just when you start flying kites. Cute as can be. Not here yet, but I'm hopeful.
What wonderful cards Valery, fabulous designs, and very different, lovely papers and colours, Kate x
