Backward Fold Cards

I saw this fold at my local scrapbook store several years ago, and today I made a get well card. The paper is called Flutter from the Walk in the Park collection by Echo Park.

I stamped the butterfly, die cut the wing pieces (Stamps of Life), and added some rhinestones to the body. The edges of the white, olive and small turquoise piece are distressed with Tea Dye distress ink.

The inside sentiment is from Everyday Sayings by Hero Arts. It is stamped on white paper and distressed.

I wanted to make a birthday card using the same fold. I used Sweet Thoughts paper from the Floral collection by Pebbles. I stamped the sentiment, colored the tiny circles with Copic markers, added some rhinestones, and lightly distressed the edges with Victorian Velvet Distress Ink.

The balloon was stamped with Warm Red chalk ink by Color Box and heat embossed with clear powder.
