Fan's Cricket

Don't you just love it when a card you make comes out exactly how you wanted it to.  Thats how I feel about this card I made.  I wish I could get a better picture.  But I was surfing the web and came across the Sugar Nellie blog hop (http://www.sugarnellie.blogspot.com/2012/05/fifi-goes-shopping_26.html)  One of the designers name is Marianne ( http://mariannespapir.blogspot.com)  I fell in love with her cards.  She talks about how if you have an unusual card it makes it all the more special.  She has a few tutorials to show different ways to cut  and fold your cards to give them that little edge.  So this is one I cased from her site.  The card opens where the punched edge is.  The image is one of Mo's Digital Images called Fans Cricket.  Crickets are a symblol of good luck in Japan.  The paper is from a 6x6 pack called Botanical collection by Prima Marketing.  The rolled rose is one I cut using the Itty Bitty Die from Spellbinder and the leaves are a punch from Nellie Snellen.  You get two punches one to cut with and one to emboss with.
