This card almost came together on its own. After finishing another card, I was looking at my Pebbles paper and I had this 12" x 12" with a design that ran the whole bottom border. Those are usually hard to use for cardmaking and look better on a scrapbook page, but then I thought that if I did a fancy fold card, I could keep the whole border and when folding the card, we would see part of the design on the front. I was hoping the designs would line up well. It's not perfect (wish we would see the face of the flamingo), but it still works and I think the magic happens when you unfold the card and see the whole design.
I also got the idea of using a scallop square Framelits to make a pocket and slide a tag in, which is peeking over the top of the card when it's closed and adds a nice design element.
The sun was fussy cut from the top of the same paper used for the card, and added to the front with Dimensionals. Because it hangs over the side of the card, I had to make an oversize envelope using the Envelope Punch board to have an envelope that the card would fit in.
TFL!

Oh, I love the outside, also. Great colors on this card and such a super ribbon.
Again, thank you for playing in my challenge.
