CropStop Challenge #43-Unique Fold

It's Thursday (just in case it slipped your mind, haha), and time for another AWESOME CropStop Challenge. The challenge this week is to make a card with a UNIQUE FOLD (no A2 or square cards).

I tend to be a creature of habit and my usual go-to card is a 6x6 square so when I saw this challenge I wasn't sure what to do. As I was filing some things, I came across a Z-Fold Christmas Card my Auntie Val mailed us last December....then the "AH HA" moment happened. I've been saving that card because I wanted to give it a try!! Then I saw a Z-Fold card on Katie's Blog with a punched border, and decided it would be the perfect opportunity to use my new Martha Stewart Monarch Butterfly Edge Punch that I just bought from CropStop....LOVE IT! (I've been on the hunt for this butterfly border set for a while and finally found it!)

I colored my Maggies a while ago so I can't remember the colors I used. The double-sided dp is from Basic Grey Indie Bloom. Did you see the cute Heather Flower Soft I used in the basket of Tilda with Flowing Hair?? I think it adds a special touch. :) The red rose is from Recollections and the pink flowers came from my friend Cebelica...thanks sweetie!!

The white doily below is also from my friend Cebelica....she's so awesome! I inked the edges with Worn Lipstick Distress Ink. The sentiments on the front and back panels came from the same set, Heartfelt Creations Classic Message....this is my favorite set!!

Here's a list of all the supplies I used from the CropStop Store:
Memento Tuxedo Black
Copics & Chalk
Heather Flower Soft
Stardust Stickles
Scor-pal
1/4" wide Scor-Tape
Spellbinders Heart Circles
Heartfelt Creations-Classic Message
Worn Lipstick Distress Ink

Don't forget you can link up your creation to the CropStop Challenge Blog for a chance at a $15 gift certificate!! And, if you order anything through the store, you can use my discount code, CTRB-2 for an additional 10% off.....who couldn't use some extra savings?!?!

If you stopped by, please leave me some feedback so I know you visited! I love to read your comments! Have a great week and hope to see ya here again soon!

Hugs,

    It's a fabulous and colorful card, Rosie!! Your friend recipient would be so glad to have it. The coloring is simply fabulous together with butterfly edge punch work, the doily touch and all the other details.
