I was doing a card for something completely different, when I suddenly realized that it would work for JustRite's challenge this week to add a charm. I was totally inspired by Joanne's entry this week, where she folded her ornnament to make it 3D. I was going to do a challenge for Crop Chocolate that involved multiple folds and circles so as soon as I saw Joanne's I knew what I wanted to make. It is another twisted easel card ( because they're fun), and I used Echo Park This & That papers, Webster's Pages ribbon, C'Bug Cherry Blossom embossing folder, my Slice and, of course, JustRite stamps. The stamps are from two older sets, Birthday Sentiments ( centers) set, and a border from the Hope set.
The charm is a little metal butterfly that I coloured with my Copics in red and green to match the layered paper butterflys. This card was really fun to make, and I owe Joanne a huge thank-you because the 3D flowers were a new technique for me, and I think they're really cute.
