This is for Lisa's great WTUI challenge - check it out HERE: WT592 Decorative Borders
I made this a couple of months ago (with my dad in hospital I was working ahead whenever I had spare time), so thank goodness I found the tutorial link bookmarked because I wasn't coming up with anything on a Google search. The tutorial I used is by Lyssa Griffin Zwolanek and you can find it HERE.
I pretty much followed the tutorial, adding a curved border and spray of flowers to the front. I added another decorative border along the top of the insert, stamped a sentiment and then a flower border coloured with pencils. I finished it off with a butterfly (Sizzix, I think) on the front. The curved lacy border tucks nicely under a flower petal to keep it closed.
Thanks for a great challenge, Lisa!

Wow Sabrina this looks fabulous. The design is terrific and the DP is one of my all time favourites by Cosmo Cricket. Thank you for always teaching me something new my friend. Xx

I love the great fold up on this Sabrina and what a fancy border you added too. Super fun happy papers too. I sure hope your dad is doing better. I will need to try this wonderful fold as I can see using this for some great cards. Thank you for the link and for creating such a darling card for the Decorative Border challenge.

I love it! I have looked at these cards using the tutorial, but have never been brave enough to try it. I love your combination of papers (RED is always perfect), and you did such a great job!! The border adds so much, Sabrina. (You are such a smartie, knowing my card was going to Erin!!) Hugs.
