Jam Jars with Flowers....

 Hi everyone

Today is the start of our new challenge over at The Crafters Cafe Blog Challenge.

Challenge #328 Anything Goes with an option of Fancy Folds

For my card this month I chose to go along with the Fancy Fold theme and have created a gatefold panel card.  My card was inspired by a creation found on Pinterest by a lady called Elaine.  I love how mine turned out and I paired it with an image from this months Sponsor (All Dressed Up) called Jam Jars with Flowers.

I have coloured the digital image using Polychromos Pencils, there were far too many colours to list so have included the majority of the pencils used under the card.  I used a patterned paper pad that has been in my stash for severals years now from Cocoa Vanilla Studio.
