I am using the new Perfectly Pencilled DSP from Stampin' Up! again - I just love this DSP and readers of my blog will know I love a black and white monochrome patterned paper ❤️

I have a few more projects to share with you using this gorgeous patterned paper. The upcoming projects have a very similar feel to this one so if you like what you see, please subscribe to my content here and you'll get an email when I share future blog posts. 

Some people may spot straight away that I've been fussy cutting this paper again but this time, don't worry, I've only added a few small touches of fussy cutting on the belly band and inside the card. 

For the belly band I added a leaves and flowers to frame the sentiment before die cutting it out using a circle die from the Stylish Shapes dies - If you look close enough, you'll see the stitching detail go through the patterned paper. 

Inside I've added a few of the butterflies which  you'll be pleased to know, were much easier to fussy cut that the flowers.

I really love this colour combo, I've used it before and I'll use it again. 

I could have used so many other colours instead of pink, however, this colour combo spoke to me and I made my decision. 

Other colours (that I love) that I could have used are Pool Party (of course), Balmy Blue, Highland Heather, Polished Pink, So Saffron, Coastal Cabana.... 

In fact I don't think many colours wouldn't work - I'd just encourage you to work with colours that make you happy, like I do!   

I'm afraid I haven't shared a tutorial for this accordion fancy fold card but do please leave me a comment if the measurements would be useful and I will look them up for you.

 

I haven't decorated the folds but inside I've added one of my favourite sentiments from the soon to be retiring Flowing Flowers stamp set. 

The sentiment inside reads "Sending a card instead of a text". I've also used the 'Thank you' sentiment on the belly band on the front. I think the font in this stamp set works so well with the hand drawn images on the patterned paper.
