Feathered Friends Double Spring Fold Card KitCompleted by Peggy Stogdill

I printed everything on matte photo paper except the sheet with the pyramage/decoupage, which was printed on semi-gloss paper.

I printed the backing paper separately since my photo paper is a bit lightweight and I wanted to back the spring mechanisms and the main floral images with a second sheet to make them sturdier-the card is "springier" with a heavier paper (I rough cut the items and used a glue stick to attach them to the backing, let them dry well, then cut them out).

I assembled the card as in the tutorial, but I left the white border on the edge of the card front (an idea from Cynthia Massey :-), punched it with a border punch, and wove narrow ribbon through the larger holes.

The matching envelope was assembled with dst and also to close the card base (so it doesn't open-there is a message panel on the underside.) Finished this delightful design with two little branches of glittery blossoms and some glitter dot embellishments.
