Dandelion Ping Magical Marquee Card

Have you made one of these Magical Marquee cards? They are quite simple and provide a nice surprise when the card is opened. I've added a belly band to secure the card. The designer for this card is Janine Tinklenberg (Jan Tink). Check out her card instructions published in a book called: Interactive Cards by Annie's Attic edited by Tanya Fox. There is also a You Tube Video for this type of card. The card front is embossed with one of the Cuttlebug Asian Embossing Folders: fan shaped.
