I made this for our NZ cardswap. This "pivot & flip" fancy fold was the feature chosen for the swap. I must say I did not enjoy making this fold.
I used one of my favourite paisley papers as the basis for the scheme, with a coordinating purple marbled paper and a dotty blue paper which were the main colours in the paisley. The base card fold is light purple hessian textured card.
I added leafy diecuts (Couture Creations) in two shades of purple and a beautiful gold repurposed heavy wrapping paper plus some gold dots which are drop-outs from dies. On the 'wings' I added sayings which I hope will be uplifting/encouraging.
On the back I made a purple panel (Joanna Sheen diecut with 3D Kindyglitz centres) to tie in with the front, and a panel to write a message on with a gold leaf attached.
