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!

This is fabulous, Anne! I love the colors, the ribbon and the flower on top looks real! You did a marvelous job here. I didn't have time to try this one, but it looks interesting. I'm still trying to get all the DTGD challenges done. Love your fantastic flower card!

Hi Anne, you say I shook things up with my ribbon and then go and produce the all time shake up card!!!! Eye poppingly gorgous! I can't say anything else because I can't take my eyes of your glorious creation!!! It's my favourite card that you've ever made.

I love your card, but now I'm worried. Mine is raised too. I wonder if I didn't it backwards without knowing it. Yikes! I really like your red/white/and blue with a splash of yellow.
