For a looooong time I've wanted to make a cascading card/double zip-zag card. After several tries to cut and score in the right places, I finally was able to weave the two card pieces together. Since the DSP design works in any direction, it was easy to cover the panels.

For added glamour, I die cut leaves in metallic shades and glued them to the reverse side. The front flower and sentiment were heat embossed.

These two hats were my inspiration: feathery and gold halo.

Wow, what a great job on your cascading card. I love the gold and silver foil. The center flower is embossed beautifully. Awesome work!
