Funky Fold Challenge Card







Good Morning & Happy Tuesday Everyone! 

I have a fun & quick post for you today!  I do hope you enjoy it!!!!!

I'm part of a monthly swap group & one of the cards I received this month utilized that fantastic *funky fold* you see!! As I was studying it, I knew that I wanted to try & recreate it but I wasn't sure which colors I was going to use......well, that was all laid to rest when I stopped by my friend Anne Marie's blog & I saw her post about The Paper Players color challenge to use Baja Breeze, Early Espresso, Blushing Bride & Very Vanilla.  These colors are beautiful together & I truly enjoyed adding shimmer mist, pearls & texture to my creation---I'm so addicted to texture....I think I add it to just about everything!!!  I just LOVE it when all the elements I'm working with come together nicely because it makes creating sooooo much easier LOL!!!! 

Well, that's it for today!  I need to get my day started so I'm off!!!  Thanks so much for stopping by & have a great rest of the day!!
Until Next Time,
Hugs & Love,
