Envelope Fold

          Went to a workshop yesterday and was shown this envelope fold



 
 
The demo was on 12 x 12 double sided paper but this one is a bit smaller 10 x 10

This is the one time I don't use handmade paper it is not double sided
I made this as a thank you for a friend who passed me a bag of lace bits last week
There is an inside card but I sealed the handmade envelope before I thought to photograph it
