Happy Tuesday!  I love a challenge that gives me a new technique to use!  I've never used paper pleating in any of my creations, but now I can say that I have with this weeks Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge.  If you haven't had a chance to visit their page, you should!  They have great challenges every week to get your creativity going! 

My mom asked me to make a wedding card for an upcoming wedding she will be attending.  The pleated paper was just what this card needed!

  2. I love the Daffodil Delight and Basic Gray combo. I would have never thought of that. It looks so elegant and bright. Love the pleating. The tutorial you posted is sooo much easier than the one I found. I will definitely be referring to that one. Thank you for Joining us at Hand Stamped Sentiments.

  4. Yow! That is one gorgeous card, with the cool grey and yellow color combo, and I love how you pulled together the pleated section with that bright bow. The bling really finishes it off, too, it sets off the grey and gives it an icy look. Thanks for joining us at Hand Stamped Sentiments! Erika
