Stair Step Fold Thinking of You Friendship Card


















Created this Stair Step Fold Thinking of You
Friendship Card for several reasons. One reason
is I
really enjoy this Stair Step Fold style. Another
reason is that it was sunny outside after the rain
we had and even though I did not see a rainbow
the sunshine inspired me to use a rainbow & pot
of gold theme.

For the pot of gold I used a new to me technique
of making glitter buttons. I placed the white buttons
where I wanted them on the card and added the
glitter glue and then waited for them to dry.

The green next to the card in top left are the
BlueBonnets greening up in my backyard.
