Butterfly Folding Card - Green

I made this card for Allsorts Challenge Blog, Challenge # 85!
The theme for this challenge is Fancy Fold cards, so I tried my first folding card!  (not sure if it qualifies as "fancy" folding, but here it is anyway!):

This is the front.  I used a really pretty scrapbook paper with sparkly patterns on it.  The butterfly is sparkly too, but it doesn't show well on this photo.

I made a b'day card - I stamped a sentiment on white card stock with a matching green ink (it's totally a coincidence that I happened to have matching paper, ink and pearls...cool!).  I inked the edges with purple ink, and glued on green pearls, and 3D mounted it onto the card.

I added cream pearl to the card corners:

Here's what the card looks like open:

I cut 3 pieces from the same scrapbook paper and glued it onto 3 sides of the card - the front, the first inside "page" and the last inside "page".  The centre I left blank so that one can write a message there.  I just stamped some butterflies along the top and bottom in green and purple inks:

And that's it! :D
