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 that unchallenge!!! Yeah, I don't even worry about most TLC challenges - because they are too challenging for me!! I have a scorepal, but oh brother, it's a lot of work. Maybe I could have folded a dahlia - but after trying one circle, I thought - I'll go to bed instead. I so get your feeling!
I love your colour of ink - worn lipstick!!! The cool names they come up with !!! Have you ever considered, as I have , that if we just stuck to Stampin Up colours like Certainly Celery, Elegant Eggplant , Pale Plum that we might get thin - whereas using colours like Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa, anc Creamy Caramel - may lead to weight gain??? I have pondered on that a lot.
Lovely card, and thank you for letting me think aloud!!
