Tilda's Birthday Folder

The Roses on Paper Blog has a challenge running to create one of a Folder card out of a single sheet of 12" x 12" cardstock. The second part of the challenge is to use a 'Mother Day-ish' theme; I'd already made my Mother's Day cards, but since my mom's birthday also arrives in May, I thought this would work:

Stamps: Magnolia Tilda, Penny Black sentiment. Ink: black, Certainly Celery, Copics. Cardstock: Almost Amethyst, Lovely Lilac, Certainly Celery Print Patterns, GP110 white. Accessories: Lilac grosgrain ribbon, Top Note Die cut.

Isn't this a sweet Tilda? She's one of the older versions, so I'm not sure of her name. Both she and the Top Note die cut were sent to me through WRAK on Splitcoast Stampers, so this card is a 'two-fer' covering May's WRAK color combo challenge to use Almost Amethyst, Lovely Lilac, and a green.

Here's how the card opens. I still haven't decided what to enclose in the folder; any suggestions?
Be sure to stop by the ROP blog to see all the great examples of the DT's interpretation of this technique. Anki has a tutorial on the ROP Project blog with step by step photos for creating your own folder card so you can join the challenge, too!
