This is for the Featured Stamper Challenge for Stitches and Smudges' gallery. Melanie has such beautiful and interesting cards. I decided upon this one with lovely pleats, as I hadn't yet tried the Pleated Skirt Fold.
I love the colors and papers she used and all her special touches. I am trying to use up some older paper to make room for all the fresh colors and paper that SU! will have in their new catalog. I used up some Eastern Elegance DSP on this card but it's not gone quite yet. My changes for the case: different paper & colors, I used the same corner punch as Melanie did, but did not repeat it at the top. I did not use any dry embossing. I ran a ribbon across the middle instead of cardstock. Used a different flower, but kept the layered look. To make my flower, I stamped the image three times in each of the colors, punched apart the circles and arranged it back alternating the colors on top of a Cabana scallop circle. I left off the sentiment for now. I learned a lot doing the pleated skirt fold for the first time. I will definitely be trying it again. Thanks Melanie for sharing your cards and for the inspiration to try something new. Thanks for looking at mine!

I love the pleats -- and I love the little corner piece you put under it - the paper all goes together so nicely!!! Beautiful!

Your pleated card is perfectly lovely. I like the way your pleats show the back of the DP with the deeper folds than my card. Your colors are also outstanding. Beautiful!
