Wow, Fern, you picked a great technique for your hostess duty today. I love pleats on everything but ME! And this was just what I needed to finish a birthday card that needs to go postal this week! Have a look and let me know what you think.
I am not one to jump on trends, I rather like the old stuff...but when I saw this awesome cupcake I had to add it to my art box. For this card, I stamped the cake on Basic Grey Pheobe papers, the paper cup part pink (VersaMark) and embossed with silver pearl and the yummy top with one of the mod circles pattern (inking it with TH di walnut stain). My fairy girl is Tim Holtz's from Stampers Anonymous. She is inked with walnut stain, colored with Copis and has her wings over stamped twice, the top layer SU's soft sky. I paper pleated onve of the smaller prints with my Score-it ever 1/2 inch. The brown bg has the wonderful Oxford Impression Ice Cream Parlor advertisment stamped directly to paper with Nick Bantock's Rose Madder ink. I added a fancy script Happy Birthday from Flourishes. My card is finished off with a little chipboard banner declaring "ALWAYS"...BE yourself!

You know, Susan, I think this qualifies as a double!!! the cupcake paper is ALSO pleated!! (But maybe this was just a test to see if we noticed!!) I love the dp you used in pleating, and the images in the lower corner are so non-geometrically wonderful!! YOU ROCK, GF!!!!!
