This project is a tri-fold card that will impress the recipient, yet require very little production time.  The folds are inspired by a card I received while participating in a swap with Christina Crawford.  I knew you would be interested in the process used to make this little gem, so I created a pdf document that includes a template and instructions.  It is a great skeleton that can be modified in so many ways.  Keep it really interesting by changing the shape of the window punch each time you utilize the design.  I also used one of my favorite techniques on this card.  I stamped flowers using dye ink and then ran a moist paint brush over them.  It creates a soft watercolor look, and it helps to blend any unevenness you may have ended up
with during the stamping process.
