Leafy Simple Fancy Fold Friendship Card

Julie Davison made a simple fancy fold card using patterned paper on one of her wonderful videos and I loved it and had to make my own version.  Here's the card and envelope together.

Here's the card which is made from a long strip of double sided patterned paper with a contrasting pattern piece folded back.  I cut the patterned paper to 4 1/8" x 12", scored at 5 1/2" and 11",  folded the 1" flap back and glued it flat.  I used fancy labels from the 'Hippo & Friends' dies and used stamped and die cut leaves with some gold foil elements.  I tucked some Garden Green ribbon behind the labels, popped up the labels and added some Garden Green glitter dots. 

Here's  a closer look at the leafy labels element.

Here's the inside of the card and the envelope.  It's lovely to see the reverse pattern of the paper on the inside.  I needed to give two cards to friends so I made two cards to this design.
