HAPPY BIRTHDAY ACROSS THE MILES


 Good morning.  Today, I have a card I made a little while ago for a special friend from Across The Miles.
I had seen that someone else had made a very similar card, and I can't remember who it was to give them credit for their work.
This design with the pleats was something quite different.
As you can see, the pleats are at the bottom.  It reminds me of my school gym dress many years ago with box pleating.

Here's a quick look at the inside of the card.

Challenges I'm Entering:
I love the colours and the pattern on the bottom design paper.  The top paper is nondescript, it doesn't taking away the look of the lovely floral paper.

Card Recipe:
1. Base: White French Linen card stock.
2. Coloured card: Kaisercraft Wine, Bloom and Silver Mirror card.
3. Design Papers: Pale Garden by Crafters Choice
4. Embellishments: Silver ribbon from my stash, flower from two dies, gems from my stash.






5. Dies Used: Star Flowers,  With Love Die, Happy Birthday and Handmade with Love.
6. Tools Used:
7. Inside & the back of the card:
I wish you all a wonderful weekend and happy crafting.

  13. Your card is lovely and such a clever use of patterned papers! I remember the blue box pleated skirts we wore in gym class back in the day. I like box pleats but they are outdated. It is nice to be able to use them on a card!

    Thanks for sharing this wonderful project at A Place to Start!
