Hello, everyone! I hope your September is going well so far. Today I'm sharing an anniversary card. I was inspired by Mrs. A's Butterfly Challenge #172 - Spin the Butterfly Wheel with F for Faux Stepper Card. I followed Mrs. A's instructions on the Faux Stepper Card, which can be found here. Any type of fancy fold is a challenge for me so I'm quite pleased that I tried it and I'm happy with the outcome.
As per Mrs. A's inspiration charts shown below, I also chose F for the colours Fandango, Flirt, and Forest Green, along with the theme of Faux Stitching, plus my butterflies. The faux stitching is on the leaves and the butterflies.
I would also like to join the following 9 challenges, for a total of 10:
