Joy Fold Card

The Friends of Speedy TV challenge at Mark's Finest Papers - A Heinrich Company this week is to make a Joy Fold card, join us here for a chance to win a stamp set: http://www.mfpspeedytv.ning.com/. There's a great tutorial at SplitcoastStampers.com under resources, I had to check it out myself, as I'd never tryed this fold for a card.
I did a sloppy job with the heat embossing on these dogwood blossoms, black powder everywhere!! So I colored them with Stampin Up reinkers and water pen and cut them out, voila, all my problems solved! I colored them with a peachy color to go with these Graphic 45 butterflies and used embossing folders on all of the dp.
