Shannon's Sentiments-Unusual Fold Challenge

I very excited as today I am hosting my 1st challenge as the March guest designer at Shannon's Sentiments and boy do I have a fun one for you!  I typically just make either regular A4 size or 6 x6 cards, however I am always intrigued by the many fancy folded cards I see. So this week I challenge you to incorporate an unusual fold on our card. Yes that's right I want you to step out the your comfort zone and try something new - make a project using a fold that is new to you or that you rarely ever use.

Last weekend I was at a scrappin' retreat with my fave local gals and we did a card swap.  My friend Darla came up with this pretty card and when I asked where she got directions she indicated she got them out of a book somewhere.  Well I LOVED the final result so I grabbed my ruler and measured everything out to be able to re-create the card for this challenge.

For my card I grabbed this CTMH paper pack called along with my coordinating inks and cardstock in Juniper, Creme Brulee, and Sorbet.  I inked all my papers using the ink that matched cardstock.  My base is 4 1/2 x 11 and is scored at 2 3/4 and 5 1/2, my layers are cut as follows:

Creme Brulee (yellow/orange) layer- 2 1/2 x 4 1/4 for left/inside panel and 4 1/4 x 5 1/4 for larger panel.

Sorbet (peachy color) layer- 2 1/4 x 4 for left/inside layer and 4 x 5 for larger panel.

Patterned paper- 2 x 3 3/4 for left panel only and 3 3/4 x 4 3/4 for larger panel.

I chose a wonderful sentiment from the Spring Time set, which you can pick up in the store for $5 and it has all these wonderful images.  I also used the flowers in the set, but only wanted to tops to add to my card. I printed the image out 3 times on Sorbet cardstock and then cut them out.  Then I inked the edges of flowers, grabbed my black Spica pen for a little sparkle, and some CTMH pearls for centers of flowers. Added a little matching Juniper ribbon after puches slots with my ribbon punch!
