Good Morning girls. Another day dawns in blogland and the snow is still lying outside. The solar lights in the garden have just appeared so we must be down to our last 8" as it melts. Our wee dog is even venturing up the garden again. She loves snow but when it's up to her shoulders it is a bit much for her. Anyway, thank you very much for visiting me again. Your company over the last few weeks has really helped to cheer me up while we have had this dismal spell of weather. I've been stuck in most of the time - crutches and 12" of snow don't go together really.This card was made for Just Magnolia's Special Monthly Challenge where the requirement was for Paper Pleating. Mina from Pinkpuds left a great tutorial on the Just Magnolia blog which was easy to follow - thanks Mina. I inked up Magnolia's "Tilda with Flower" and coloured her using my Copic Ciaos. The papers are Basic Grey's "Wisteria" and I used a plain sheet for the middle section of the card and pleated two side panels. The flowers and embellishments are all from my stash. It was great fun to make this card. I hope you like it.
It would be great if you could find time to leave me a comment to let me know what you think. I would value your opinions on this card since I haven't done anything like this before. In any case please keep safe and have a happy and productive crafting day.
Hugs,
