I took my time to choosing patterns from the gorgeous Pansy Petals dsp. My friend loves purple so these were the colours I went for first. I added in the Soft Succulent gingham to break up the purple. The dsp was adhered to the Basic White panels which were then glued to the Gorgeous Grape card.

I carefully folded and burnished the score lines of the card to form the tri-fold shutter shape.
