Hi! This card was made for today's Ways To Use It Challenge: Just Pleat It...
I don't like making pleats with card stock because the thickness is very difficult to continue folding. However, I decided to make a pleated card stock panel for this card. Please remind me NOT to try to do that again...I ended up having to sew the panel's pleats, as the ribbon I tried to use to "close off" the pleats ripped the first 3 panels I made! LOL!
The images were stamped in VersaMark and embossed in Copper. They were colored in with Copic Markers and then cut out.

So very beautiful! I think sewing the ribbon or fabric is the way to go, otherwise you just go crazy!

OK, now you scared me! I guess I won't attempt to pleat the actual cardstock after reading this. Your card did turn out beautifully for all your struggles. Love your colors, Faith. Hope the foot is improving.
