This card was made for today's technique Lover's challenge, to make a card with paper pleats. I have been planning a swap card using designer paper and I wanted to do one of these pleated flowers, so this was the perfect opportunity to work on this design. Thanks to nitestamper for her sample and directions here:
The flowers is easy but a bit time consuming. I find it helps to use the jumbo glue dots on the back and front of the flower and cover each one with a circle of cardstock.
