While digging through my older supplies, I found a pack of Berry Burst card stock and decided to make a card with it. I embossed a piece of white with a (retired) SU! Petal Burst ef and stamped the florals on the front with a stamp from the (retired) SU! Carte Postal set from 2006. I colored the flowers and stems with markers before stamping, adding some yellow glaze pen centers. The butterfly was done with a Martha Stewart punch and I added a few clear gemstones to add sparkle. The sentiment is by Unity, and would have been stamped in Berry Burst had my matching ink pad not turned into a scummy green surface! Eww!
I found the tutorial for this flap fold card by Chicnscratch HERE and it's fun and easy to create. The message is underneath the butterfly panel.
I'm entering this into the Paper Players PP452 sketch challenge. I opted to put the sentiment on the main panel because there was more room for it there and I needed to fill in some white space at the same time :)
I took the horizontal line across the bottom which is gems, nature, and color pens/pencils/inks
Thanks for stopping by and I hope everyone has a cool place to hang out today. It certainly is hot here in PA today! Whew!

OK that's a very clever take on the sketch... tipping my hat to you for that one :) I love the colour with the delicate flower clusters, so pretty x
Beautiful design and well done on using that EF with the white it looks so striking with the berry colour of the cardstock! Perfect take of the sketch! The butterfly adds a lovely touch to the flap panel!

This is a lovely design, Carol! I really like the embossed background and pretty berry coloring! I'm sorry to hear that you have been dealt another blast of heat and I hope it's short-lived, especially since I'm heading to the Midwest tomorrow! Here, thank goodness, we had a dramatic cool-down today! Hugs, Darnell

Your card is so pretty Carol! Love that wonderful texture in the background! That Berry color is so stunning and I love that you've made this fun fold design with it! Great take on the sketch! Hope you are able to stay cool today! HUGS
This is very pretty and I love the flap fold. Might have to try that sometime! Thanks for sharing the tutorial!
Beautiful background texture and the image panel is just lovely - great card!
So soft and delicate Carol. So very pretty.
I used to always watch Chicnscratch too Carol. She is so fun and clever. I haven't watched in a quite a while though. To many You Tube videos that I can't keep up. lol Love how your card came out, it is so delicate and sweet. I love it! Ewww is right! I've never heard of a SU ink pad doing that. Has any other ones done it?! Wonder what caused it. Markers get a "growth" on them, I know what it is called but can't spell it. lol You can just wipe it off the markers, not sure about a stamp pad though. Desalinization! That is what it is called, again not sure if that is what is going on with your ink pad though. Hugs, Brenda
Oh my, this is one awesome card, Carol! I always LOVE a fun fold as long as it's not complicated! Love that your using your old stash and making such pretty cards! My Berry Burst Pad was getting wonky too and I took a paper towel and blotted the gook off and reinked it. Maybe that can help yours too! I think it's something in those real pads!! Anyways, love the sketch and the pretty floral images! Keep those oldie but goodies coming! Stay cool! Hugs~
