Andrea Lowcock - 3 fold Card

I received this lovely card earlier this week from the friendly Stampin' Up Demonstrator, Andrea Lowcock with some templates, sorry I could not tie that bow very well. A big thank you to Andrea and I hope to find time to try out the templates over the weekend. Andrea updates her blog site just about everyday so I do enjoy visiting regularly to receive lots of inspiration. If you wish to make a 3 fold card she has instructions on her blog.
