Single layer Dutchfold card

Single layer Dutch fold card
I never knew how to create a Single layer Dutch Fold card and looked up and learnt it. first I made the block. I feel comfortable to have a block and the measurements are 8*7 1/8. scored it at 6 and 2 on the 8 inch side and scored at 2 3/8 on the other side.
This is the block of the single layer Dutch fold card

Using the block i cut a base using green cardstock. Then i cut panels using blue denim card stock.

I then stamped butterfly images on the two bottom panels using an orange  ink pad.

For the left of the top panel I stamped the image welldone on red ink. for the right of the top panel i stamped a rose using a clear stamp and colored it using Coleen Watercolor pencils. 

To show the edges of the petals clearly i outlined using a gold gel pen. I attached a die cut leaf as no rose is complete without a flower. The butterfly on top of the rose was stamped using a clear stamp in a blue. To attach the butterfly to the rose giving dimension I cut a match stick and glued it along the middle of the butterfly and that was glued to the card.

These are the clear stamps i used. Here are some of the ink pads.

On top of the sentiment on the left i attached a diamond as this is a well done card.

I decorated the card using orange and black color and pink color butterflies  cut from a patterned paper. They were attached to the card using match sticks. On the middle is a sticker. The bottom has a puffy lady bug sticker. Empty spaces were stamped using tiny flower and ladybug stamps.  

 I left empty spaces in the inside of the bottom panels so that i could write something if i wish to.

I am linking my card to the following challenges
