Stampin' Up! Accordion Fold embellished with Botanical Blooms and Butterflies

The Accordion card fold is such a fun 3 dimensional card fold to decorate and with Stampin' Up! Botanical Blooms and Botanical Builder Framelits dies, embellishing could not be easier.  This is what I created to inspire for an up coming class...

Yes I had to add butterflies and I love the monarch butterfly, hence the colours of Tangerine Tango and Pumpkin pie in the background.  The blossoms are in Whisper White with centres of Blackberry Bliss and Gold.   The foliage was cut in colours of Wild Wasabi and Always Artichoke, sketched on and sponging done in Old Olive...

There is a lot of work in the cutting out of flowers, leaves and stamen, but the effort is worth it.  These are magnificent cards, ones I'm proud to pass on.

Yours in paper craft,
