I love hoarding my designer paper that has images on it rather than just patterns. I decided that at least once a month I have to make a project that uses some of that paper, and today is it for July! The paper is the Mariposa Stack from DCWV. I chose the design for the accordian fan pattern first, and then found a contrasting paper pattern for the background second.
I held the fan in place with 1/4 inch Scor-Tape. I added some thin rub-on letters to the bird cage part of the designer paper for a sentiment ("thinking of you"). I adhered the fan, button, and Ivory Box Pleated Ribbon (Really Reasonable Ribbon) with 1/4 inch Scor-Tape as well. I added a bit of Light Green Curly Sparkling Trim (RRR) to the button.
Thanks for taking a peek!

I also chose a lampshade for this Relique challenge, but mine couldn't be more different. Your fan fold looks terrific. Nice placement for your patterned background paper, too.
