This card is definitely a Mothermark kinda card that needs one of those clear boxes since it's a statuesque card 1" in height! Yikes!
I normally do not provide directions when uploading a card; however, since I've I've managed to mix things up today, I thought I would highlight the changes I've made with today's blintz technique.
Instead of folding outward, I folded inward to create a kind of raised appearance. I've managed to pop up the interior of this origami fold technique starting inward w/1, then 2 and then 3 dimensionals at the center to give it height! I just didnt expect 1" in height. The flower was crafted using nesties' ovals - next to the smallest size. Use the swiss dots cb, then used unknown ribbon cut out w/the nesties' smallest die. Primas atop that!

Oh my Anne, this is simply to gorgeous for words. This has to be my favorite card of the day. Your are a genius iN creating this beauty. I love that awesome flower, if I hadn't read your deets I would have sworn this was a real bloom. I think that it was a brilliant idea to pop this, but 1" ,my word. I love the use of the Nesties ovals to build the bottom part of the flower and then to also use the Swiss dots.
........................WOW OH WOW.................................

Well, this one is a winner for sure! I love what you created today! Love the oval nesties forming the base of your flower, and love the top prima! I have no idea where you buy your flowers, but you do find the nicest ones! Your color scheme is awesome, as always... the whole card is just gorgeous! Great job deviating just a tad to create the dimension you wanted on your card! Such creativity coming from that direction, gf!
