Roses Challenge No.15

Hi Blogging Buddies!

I was Sue's turn turn to host the month of April's challenge for the 'Roses', and she asked us to use fancy folds. I knew exactly what I wanted to do, I've always wanted to try to make a tri shutter card, not sure weather you would call this 'fancy folds', but there are plenty of folds. I used the tutorial over at splitcoast stampers, my dp is Stampin Up, the lovely big flower on the front is HFC die, matha stewart butterfly punch, spell binders heart dies, and my daisy punch... yes a lot of punches and die cuts. Thanks Sue for the a great challenge, I would probably never had tried this, just dreamt about it (LOL). If you get a chance go check out what the other Roses have done:

*Betty

*Connie

* Kym

* Mary Ann

*Olga

* Patti

* Sue

I would like to enter the following challenge:

* Dutch Dare Challenge - fancy folds

Good Morning/Evening,

Where did that week go?... anyone know?.... so glad it went so fast, its the weekend ... yippee! My little grandson 'Jack', has taken up soccer, I didn't make it to his first game, but he proudly rang me to say he scored a goal, so today I went to watch, he had the biggest crowd, all his grand parents and great grandparents, well he was on fire, scoring 3 goals for his team and 1 for the other team, as they were short of players, it was funny, they are only 5 years old and they just run around is circles, we had to keep telling them 'the other way'. Anyway onto my card, I wanted something spring as it felt like a spring day today, not an autumn one! I used american craft card, dp is My Minds Eye - Stella Rose, sentiment is stampin up, and my butterfly and flower punch... I would like to enter the following challenge:
