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!

Now that is improvising and making it work! I love that you folded it in instead of out Anne! It does look like a raised up flower, so so cool! The colors are vibrant and beautiful! Awesome!
