Cascade Card

Tri-fold cards are a great way to create impressive designs, just using a single sheet of card. 
To decorate this card I have used Crafter's Companion Frou Frou Collection, which you can download for free when you sign up to Club Inspire.
First I made the card by trimming A4 white card to 27cm, then scoring and folding to create three panels of 9cm. To create the 'waterfall' effect, I trimmed at a diagonal to take the corner off the front two panels. 
I printed all the embellishments onto white card and the patterned papers onto white paper, then cut everything to size, inking the edges of the paper before glueing to the panels. 
To decorate the butterflies, I used black wire for antennae and coloured gems for the bodies.  I arranged everything onto the card to make sure I was happy with the layout before glueing down. Some elements are glued directly and some using 3D foam pads to give the card more dimension. 

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
1. Polkadoodles - Week 29 Let It Fly
2. Great Impressions - Anything Goes
3. Crafty Cardmakers - Birthday
