Free Craft Card - Folding Castle

Please excuse me if I'm proud of this one: I designed and created this card just in the last few hours. I'm very pleased to share it with you The card is in two parts: one outside, and one inside. Cut open  the windows with a craft knife, and they can be folded open to reveal the little ladies' faces. Using a craft knife or scissors, cut the door of the castle on each side, one halfway down the middle, the other halfway up the middle, following the printed lines, so you can close the card by sliding the doors over eachother at the cuts. The matching envelope has a little round image that you may use to seal the envelope; for extra strength, you might want to cover it with a little clear adhesive plastic.. Let me know if you have any questions about how to assemble it.  Have fun! - Judy
P.S. - get the original Poppy and Rose graphics here: http://thegraphicsdiva.blogspot.com/2013/07/vintage-graphics-flower-girls-poppy-rose.html
