Believe me, I've tried these last two weeks to score and fold flowers and fortune teller boxes...my samples are just sad rejects on the floor! I have enjoyed commenting on others successes though. So here is my non challenge challenge...a thinking of you, well wishes card. And only one little fold that you can't quite see, and I'm not gonna tell how straight it tis!
It's a simple card actually, MME Bliss double side paper Make a Wish Dandy/brown. I used a kickstand as I wanted a touch of the brown paper to show. My frame is Fancy Pants from the Garden set. I stamped it directly onto the DP in Worn Lipstick. Memories from Hero Arts in stamped on the diagonal in SU soft sky. My sentiment is Wordsworth in Walnut Stain and lightly embossed. I fussy cut around a few swirls ... a butterfly and flower. popped and proped.
So if there's anyone left out there challenged like me, I invite you to the unchallenge...Happy Monday

Love your challenge, Susan. Your a funny one and I can certainly relate. It's nice to know, though that we can do this without all the fancy tools. Your card is fabulous. Love the flowers, the background and the very cool sentiment.

IT'S VERY PRETTY AND YES, I'M JUST AS CHALLENGED. I COULDN'T CUT OR FOLD STRAIGHT IF MY LIFE DEPENDED ON IT, BUT IT'S ONLY BECAUSE I HAD UNSUCCESSFUL EYE SURGERY 15 MONTHS AGO AND NOW BEFORE IT CAN BE REDONE THEY'VE FOUND CATARACTS THAT HAVE TO BE REMOVED FIRST. SO LONG STORY SHORT, I'VE BEEN FEELING MY WAY THROUGH EVERYTHING.

Wow this is so pretty. You really have a knack for the vintage look. I love the script in the background and your trim is just beautiful. I'm off to join your challenge. Thanks for inspiring me.
