Welcome to another Art with Heart Team blog hop where we are focusing on fancy folds. You will find loads of creative inspiration tonight, showcasing different folding techniques and projects. Don't be afraid of trying some Fancy Fold cards; they may look intimidating, but in fact, they are not that difficult to create.
You may have come to my blog from Caroline Manwaring. Blog hops are full circles, so start blog hopping here and and the end of my post (and everyone else's) there is a link to the next post. I've also got a list of all 12 blog hop participants at the end in case of broken links.
Today I have a centre step card to share with you. (I haven't included a template as there is lots all over the internet).
I've used vellum over the stunning Painted Autumn designer series paper to give it a muted look and also to make the fussy cut flower on the left hand side of the card stand out more. Usually, when you use adhesive under vellum it is visible. In this instance, I didn't mind as I covered the edges of the designer series paper and vellum with year of cheer washi tape (thus hiding the adhesive I used).

What a great idea to use the Washington to hide the adhesive. I love the muted background. The main flower really pops.

Such a stunning card Ros! I love this DSP and how you have used the vellum to soften the centre background panel and then it really pops out your fussy cut flower. I love the addition of the washi tape too. :)

How clever to use the washi tape in the way. This is a simply stunning card!
