This is a seagull fold chosen by Dawn for our NZ cardswap. Wow, looks complicated but not. Lots of photos for this one. Feathers cut from vellum, the papers have soft sparkle. I kept the diecuts within the colour palette of the striped paper and used up various snippets. Lots of tutorials if you google seagull fold, also an upright version called Finch fold. Edit: before posting, I added another vellum feather at the bottom right of the front panel - but forgot to photograph it (sigh).

Fabulous card, thanks for the name of this great fold and for sharing your card with us at All sorts challenge. Donna
Have never seen that fold before and it looks amazing! Love the bird sitting on his branch and it looks like you've used up quite a number of snippets too.
Thanks for coming to play in the Snippets Playground. See you up in the treehouse for some nice warm croissants in Breakfast Club. xxx
