=============================================================

Here's How It's Made:

Fold card base at 4" score line, then fold back on itself at 2" score line.

Emboss Basic White panel, adhere triangle to inside of card with long side at outer edge, and 3-3/4 edge at top.

Emboss all DSP and cardstock strips.  Adhere strips on front flap with full 3-3/4 long DSP strip at bottom, then cut Fresh Freesia 1/4" shorter, adhere directly above bottom DSP strip, repeat for three remaining pieces, cutting each one 1/4" shorter than previous, alternating cardstock and DSP.

Ink sentiment, stamp onto Basic White cardstock.  Die cut two small branches from Bubble Bath cardstock.  Adhere stems of each to back of sentiment strip, one at top left and other at bottom right, adhere to Fresh Freesia cardstock.

Adhere sentiment to card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Embellish with Iridescent Foil Gems.

NOTE: You may adhere this to a 5-1/2 x 4-1/4 cardstock panel if you wish.  Also, the reverse side of the DSP strip extensions show when card is opened - they are a completely different set of colors, so I opted to cut small strips of Basic White cardstock to cover them up.
