Stampin' Up! Pleated Technique

I used the pleated card technique with our new Product of the Month Painted Illusions Designer Paper . I added a little dimention with the Soft Waves Embossing Folder, to create a textured background and the bold leaves on the front, provide a landing spot for my sentiment.

A "thank you so much" sentiment keeps it clean and heartfelt. I hope you enjoy this technique.

Tip: Flip it the other way to look like a curtain, or use the left over piece to create another fun element on another card.
