Water Color Wings with Fancy Fold

Okay, the spoiler alert has been lifted and I can tell you the name of the retired colours and stamp sets - in this post anyway.
One of the retired colours - Soft Sky, so that means the Ink, DSP and card stock.
In a previous post I informed you about the retirement of the Water Color Wings stamp, the Bold Butterfly framelits and the Butterfly Thinlets.
This card features these retired colors

The base card is Soft Sky; the butterfly is stamped with Soft Sky ink, and layered with a Butterfly thinlet die cut with retiring Iridescent glimmer paper.



Here's how to make the fancy fold.
The Soft Sky DSP (size 4 by 5 1/2") is cut 2" on the 5 1/2" side about 1/2 way down.  The two ends are then folded in on themselves and creased well with a bone folder.
This folded DSP is adhered to the card stock back with the edge flush with the spine.

The sentiment is stamped onto the card stock about midway down and the layered butterfly was adhered at an angle at the angle of the fold.

No card is complete without embellishments, so I added another retired item - Tutti Fruittie adhesive backed sequins.

Supplies Used:
Stamp:  Water Color Wings
Ink:  Soft Sky, Black Memento
Papers:  Soft Sky, Whisper White, Soft Sky DSP, Iridescent Glimmer Paper
Accessories:  Stamparatus, Bold Butterfly Framelits, Butterfly Thinlets, Adhesive backed sequins (Tutti Fruitti)
