CHNC Patterned Paper - July Challenge
http://craftyhazelnutspatternedpaper.blogspot.co.nz/2017/07/craftyhazelnuts-patterned-paper-july.html

I have used three digital papers from Beccy's Place along with an image from Beccy's Place.  I paper pieced the image using the papers as well as using them on the panels.  Lots of fussy cutting for this one!  I varied Beccy's design to follow her suggestion to add the image to a belly band to close the card.

I think the only other fold I have attempted is my card using the flag fold card which can be found here.
