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....

Oh wow, I LOVE the fancy fold design and the button/bow embellishments are perfect for our challenge at In The Pink - thanks for sharing with us :-)

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
