A Floral Fancy Fold

Welcome

Last month for the small N.Z. card swap group I am in, we were challenged to make a Mini Miura card.
I was late making it, but it did get done in September. 


It is a trifold card with a twist, and is supposed to be closed with a belly band - I simply used a sparkly thread, tying a bow under the embossed bee


Here is the card fully opened.  The paper was a part sheet from an old Craft Wise pack called Blossom,  layered over some deep pink metallic paper


I stamped some bees and the sentiment in Memento Ink London Fog
They were freebies from a magazine


I also embossed two of the bees with Platinum EP

Deceptive card. It looks simple until you look down on it. Beautifully done. Making the bee look as though it is perched on the string is a nice touch. Beautiful print.

Love, Hugs and Blessings

I have not seen this fold before, love all of the angles and appearance when open. Ohhh, such lovely DP you used- soft and feminine. The metallic paper and metallic cord for closure are such elegant touches!
