Welcome to week 17 of the Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This week we are creating with Flirty Flamingo. This really isn't one of my favourite colours and I really do struggle to get any ideas with it. So I went through my tutorials and I thought this one will make a really stunning card and it did. (If I do say so myself) toot toot.
It's called a Front Fan Fold card and it's really easy to do. I also used the Sale-A-Bration DSP called Beautifully Penned. I used my blends to colour the flowers on the DSP and on the stamped images on the front of the card and then die cut out 2 flowers from the Hand Penned Bundle to place in the middle of the fan. The butterfly is from the Butterfly Brillance dies and my Basic pearl I colour Flirty Flamingo. This card will need a box to send it in as it stills up about 1/2 inch (1.3cm) so you wouldn't want to squash it.
I stamped the inside of my card and coloured the flowers again, I allowed a large boarder around my card to really bring out the Flirty Flamingo. I didn't put a sentiment on the front of the card as I thought the inside words say it all.

What a beautiful card Di! I haven’t seen this fun fold and agree it showcases Flirty Flamingo beautifully with this DSP. The gold butterfly adds an elegant touch. Love the inside of your card with the wider border.
ReplyDeleteFlirty Flamingo is such a lovely colour for those flowers, Di. The fan front on the card is a really unusual, interesting, detail! I love the wide Flirty Flamingo border inside your card. Nicely done. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic card, Di - love this fancy fold and the way you've coloured the Beautifully Penned DSP.
ReplyDeleteI really love your card Diane with the hand penned elements and you always have me with a fan and a butterfly. I have never seen this kind of fold before I will have to have a go at it, I love it! Gorgeous card!
ReplyDeleteOh Di, for someone who doesn't really like Flirty Flamingo, this is a gorgeous card. I love how you have coloured the flowers on the DSP to coordinate and the fan is pretty special too!
ReplyDeleteThat's very unique Di! I love all these amazing folds you come up with. It certainly did turn out stunning!
ReplyDeleteThat fan adds a beautiful oriental touch and the flowers match well with that idea. A great card.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Rachel - the fan, flowers and gold butterfly give a very oriental feel to your card that is absolutely fabulous!
ReplyDeleteWow, this is really pretty and quite stunning Diane. Love the gold foil butterfly.
ReplyDeleteSuch a unique card Diane. I've not seen that type of fold before. The stamped image on the inside is also a lovely touch
ReplyDeleteThe fan fold is perfect with the beautifully penned DSP.
ReplyDeleteWow Diane, your card is stunning. I have never seen a fan fold before but it works so well with the die cut flowers and butterfly.
