Magic Window Card

     This is my first ever Magic Window card and I got both the inspiration and instructions at the Butterfly Challenge.  Each fortnight they have a new 'wheel' with six different options which you can use in making your entries.  This time, I used all six of the options in one card: Mandarin, Mint, Magnolia (colors); markers, metal charms, and the Magic Window technique.

  

Here's the card front, a gate fold,

 

and the inside.  When the card is opened,

the diamond-shaped 'window' slides open as if by magic!

ProMarker used to 'dye' the embroidered butterfly mandarin orange

The butterfly paper was in a prize pack from Butterfly Challenges

The Medallion doily was also part of the prize pack

2 Metal Charms - glued together on the medallion

QuicKutz die used inside

     This card made me think about one of my favorite activities when I was a much younger version of myself - chasing butterflies!  I didn't catch many but lots of happy, free time, hours were filled with anticipation of having the largest collection of butterflies ever!  lol  

     Challenges:
