An accordion card

I'm back with my second offering for the Butterfly challenge and this time I've included the accordion fold.




I used  the "A4 accordion" groove on the scoring board to fold my card into 4 equal panels then decorated the front and the inside panels with these papers which were a recent magazine freebie -  lots of lovely butterflies and bugs and the perfect colours for the challenge! I finished the front with an ancient and much-used Polkadoodles circular sentiment stamp. 

It's just dawned on me that each panel of this card is the perfect size for a bookmark - wouldn't it be nice to use the perforating wheel on a paper trimmer to score the lines so the recipient could use at least one panel of the card as a bookmark? I might give that idea a try. 

I am, of course, sharing this with the Butterfly Challenge where I'm claiming all elements - the fold, the two patterned papers and all three colours.

Interesting fold must look up the A4 spot on the scoreboard, didn't know there was such a thing, beautiful papers and great sentiment.

I love the butterfly and bugs paper and looks really good alternating with the second paper. Making a book mark to perforate off is a great idea too.
Thankyou for coming and spinning the butterfly wheel with me this week.Full house it is. Hugs Mrs A.
