I made a birthday card for a little girl.
She got a magnifying glass for her birthday and now she looks for all kind of tiny critters: ants-butterflies-ladybugs...
I copied the phantasy flowers on red paper in different sizes, cut them out by hand en fold them spiral.
The leaves are cut with fancy scissors, fold in half and then put diagonally into a paper Crimper.
In each flower I will hide some little cut out images of critters for her to find...
The bees on the white background paper are dry embossed by hand with a little brass stencil .

This is such a special creation for a little girl! I love the vibrant red and green of the blossoms and leaves and those bumble bees are so realistic. Love to see the old brass stencils being used! I have kept some of my favorites and need to get them out and use them again!

Such a great card, Niki! Excellent example of how the "fun fold" can be on the focal image. Wonderful gift card for a great (and unusual) gift. Thank you for playing in my Creative Creases Challenge and hope you can join in again soon.
