A Cute Fun-Fold Card

Here's an adorable slimline card created using the set.  Some of the products used are now retired, but you can easily recreate with other colors, greetings and embellishments!

The front features a fun, fold-out where two more of the adorable animals are hiding!  It's layered on Mint Macaron (retired) and has a Fresh Freesia card base.

It's hard to see behind the bow, but there's a little round tab on the left-hand side (you'll see a 1/2 circle from the front), to pull the card front open to reveal the additional panels.

The images were stamped first, and then the surrounding areas were lightly colored using a Blending Brush to give them a soft, halo effect.  You can see them here:  BLENDING BRUSHES
