I love changing cards up by using different shapes and such and when I came across this card on Pinterest I just had to give it a try. You can find the card HERE. She did a whole set just beautiful!!
Here is my version
I cut the base 4 1/4 by 11 inches, then scored the card at 5 1/2 inches, cut half way up the card to the score line and then down the score to my cut line. I used diecut flowers that I shaped with my stylus and pad and added the punched leaves. There was still room on the inside to write a sentiment :)
Here it is laying down so you can see what it looks like closed.
Spellbinders -- Carnation creation dies
Martha Stewart -- leaf punch
Paper smooches -- Happy Birthday stamp sentiment
Bazzill -- Brads on flowers

This is a gorgeous card Connie, I love the cutaway effect but haven't tried it yet. Beautiful colour combination too.
Well that is a neat idea! And very pretty, I love the blue with a little brown...it looks very rich to me!
This is fabulous Connie. Love the colours and the shape.
Very nice, understated but sweet. You sculpted the flowers well, it's a clever effect.

It's fun to do something different with the fold now and then, but I never think of it. Love this idea! Your colors and papers are so pretty. I've always loved the chocolate and sage combo.
