AYLI (DT) Shape or Fold

Well hello there!  Welcome to another Thursday at Squirrelville where it is DT day for the AS YOU LIKE IT CHALLENGE.

This time the challenge is SHAPE or FOLD (and you must tell us why you made your choice)

It was a tussle whether to do a fold or a shape, and ended up combining the two into a "fol-ape".  I think it qualifies more as a fold though.  I love to see both, they always make cards feel more special, I'm just not very good at thinking outside the square


So I found the tutorial for this on SplitcoastStampers and it was really easy - of course, I added to it by punching the top border and then swearing because it wouldn't line up at the join, lol.
Stamped image is a Wryn from Tiddly Inks
Painted with Distress Inks (ReInkers) and Polychromos Pencils
Papers are all First Edition from the Paper Flowers collection
Sentiments and banner from Clearly Besotted
Oval dies by Tonic
Border punch is Martha Stewart

Here's a picture of her flat and ready for the envelope



Our sponsor supporting this challenge is
Sweet Stamps with a $10 store voucher


You have two weeks to get folding or shaping, and remember to tell us why you made your choice

Hugs to all
Squirrel xx

Very cute! My friend has been after me for ages to make one of these style folded-shape cards. Maybe it's time I get off my hiney and do it. Love what you've created here. Great punched top edge!
