Book Binding fold.

A new challenge hits the headlines over at the butterfly challenge.  The wheel has landed on a fresh letter. 

#167 Spin The Butterfly Wheel with B for Book Binding Fold Card.

Here is the new format wheel. You now have two choices to play along.

When I was choosing the wheel colours I picked Bougainvillea as the Bougainvillea flower (depicted here on the wheel) is usually known for being in shades of this but looking on line I found  there really is a variety coloured  yellow albeit with a white centre.  

1. Make a card using at least 2 of the colours on the wheel + your butterfly of course.

or

2. Make a card using the Book binding Fold Shape + any 2 of the colours + the Theme + your butterfly of course. 

There is a tutorial as normal over on the challenge blog  which you will find on the Card Shapes tab that is under the banner at the top of the page. 

This card shape just requires a couple of folds and your good to go.  Version 3 requires a bit more folding but nothing complicated. Would I do that to you!!

Here are my cards for inspiration. 

Version I

Using: Book Binding fold/Butterfly/Bondi Blue/Buff/Braid

The design paper is a freebie from Making Cards Nancy Watt Collection. The just for you  sentiment is a creative Expressions. The large butterfly is a piece of already die cut card I found in my stash from a previous card so not sure of the make now. I used my SU butterfly punch for smaller butterflies on the inside of the card. The braid element is three pieces of buff bakers twine plaited together on the spine of the card.

Version II

Using: Book Binding fold/Butterfly/Bondi Blue/Banana/Bougainvillea/Braid

 I really do have a love hate relationship with acetate but I have been using it lately in some other projects that I have been making and as it was still out on my desk I decided to incorporate into the book binding shape.  The back of the card is plain card stock and design paper by 'Sally Moret' adhered to the top. I then sandwiched a sheet of acetate on top before adhering the book binding flap down securing it altogether.  The strip of design paper on the edge of the acetate is only there for show as the acetate  is thinner than I would normally use for a card front but I had none thicker and it is helping in keeping the front ajar.  The braid is from The Works and the sentiment is made up from 3 different die cuts. Happy is Creative  Expressions, Birthday is a Memory Box die and the wishes is by Crafter's Companion.

The sentiment is by Creative Expressions and the braid from The Works.
