Welcome friends, It's time once again for the monthly Gentlemen Crafters Design Team Blog Hop. The Gentlemen Crafters Design Team (#TGCDT) are a group of male crafters & Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world, that love to share our creative side with you on the 2nd Friday of each month. Be sure to visit all the presenters in this month's hop - links can be found at the bottom of this post. 

The large floral image from this stamp set makes a bold statement as the focal point of of this card. Building on that with some gorgeous designer series paper with beautiful and intricate patterns an easy card is just a few steps away. 

I decided to use a fun fold design recently shared with me, and I love the results.  I'll give the measurements below so you can duplicate it if you like.
