I'd like to say a huge thank you to all the lovely people who have left such encouraging comments on my last two posts, it is always nice to get positive feedback on our creations. After spending hours in my craft room wrestling with what papers to put with what embellishments and which colours to choose for an image, it is all worth while when a fellow crafter praises our efforts, so thank you again.
So, on to the business of todays card....
Recipe
Image - Pre-coloured Topper from Hobby House
'When I Grow Up' by Mo Manning
Papers - Molly Bloom
Buttons and ribbon from stash
Sentiment - LOTV
Corner Bow Die - Memory Box
Faux Stitches Stamp
These pre-coloured toppers from Hobby House are a godsend when it comes to making a quick card, it's just a pity that I picked THE most complicated card fold and swing element to mat and layer that any time saved colouring was spent making the base. However I love it now that it's made. Here is a picture hopefully showing the folds....

Well that's all from me tonight, it's quite late so I'm off to bed.
See you soon,
Lorraine

This is awesome, Lorraine! Not done one of these shape cards for ages, but I think you've just inspired me to make another one! Love your choice of papers and sweet image, coloured brilliantly! It was definitely worth the time! Hugs, Lisa x
Me again! Just noticed you said you'd used a pre-coloured topper...it's early - but you could've got away with it..and it's still awesome! Lisa x

Hi Lorraine, what a fabulous card, the style is amazing, I've never tried a fold like this before, looks complicated.
Love all the embellishments to, hugs Kate x
Holy Cow! No time wasted here, it was a worth it. This is so cute ! I don't think I could manage this. It looks very complicated. Love the swirls too. Just darling. ~lizzy

Oh absolutely adore this! Love the design of the card, the cute image and the bold colors. My six year old (and probably also my nine year old) would LOVE this.

Wow, that really was a labour of love, but so worth it, it looks faboulous. I must say it's very rarely that I make a fancy folded card simply because of the time involved, I would love to have a go at a swing card at some point (though I don't think I'm brave enough to tackle something quite this complicated), it's another that's on that mythical list :) xx
Thank you so much for entering the Challenge at Fussy and Fancy "More than one Fold". I wish you luck with your entry for the Top 5.
