Four Panels.

The Butterflies are back over on their blog for a new round of challenges.  The theme for January is:

As usual I have made  a card for your inspiration. The shape is far from new as I have found various  instructions for making it ( also using different shape names) on YouTube, one even  going back 7yrs!
I have used all the elements on the wheel.  In all  of my stash of papers I couldn't find even just  one using the colours and elements that I wanted so as the saying goes  If you can't beat them then join them!
I made my own design paper using a  selection of SU stamps from  'Everything is Rosy', 'Berry Blessings',' Butterfly Gala', 'What I Love' and 'Brushed Blooms. I watched loads of YouTube tutorials by Ruth Trice of Artful Stampin  who is an absolute wizz at Stamped One Sheet Wonders. 
This is the design paper that I made  to use for the card. 



Here is the card. 
The butterfly die is by Cheery Lynn  from 'Tiny Thing with Wings' die set B266 and the white frame is from Whimsy Stamps 'FaDoodle Frames' WSD 467.
Here is the card opened out. The stamped design on the back panel is  by SU  from their 'Floral Statements' set  which I have coloured using Promarker pens to match the  Stampin Up ink that I used on the design paper. I also used a silver gel pen. 

Below shows the design paper cut to fit the panels. It really is an easy card shape to do.
I hope you will come and have a play in the Butterfly Garden.  Challenge is running until 24th January. 

I am entering this card into the following challenges:
The Alphabet Challenge # : T is for Thankyou
A Place to Start # : Anything goes. 
Love to Craft #72 : Anything goes.
Love to Scrap #159 : Anything goes.

Hugs
