A card for the current ODBDSLC challenge (#34) to use kraft & black plus another color. I decided to go with kraft, black & cream. I also made this card for the current Moxie Fab World challenge Perfectly Placed Pleats. Last year during the May, 2009 PaperTrey Ink release, Nichole Heady, made a card using the cutest little pleating detail (look here). She provided a template so that we could recreate the pleats ourselves. I downloaded the template and have been using it ever since.
For my card I created two sections of pleating and then adhered them together so that they would fit along the length of the card. The patterned paper I used is one of my favorites from Close to My Heart, called Silhouette. The stamps, of course, are from ODBD, the set called As You Graduate. I stamped the main image on PTI's Vintage Cream cs with PTI's True Black ink. The piece was matted with True Black cs. I stamped a 2nd butterfly on Vintage Cream and then trimmed it out. I sprayed it with some Smooch (Vanilla something), but you can't really see it. Thanks for taking a peek... hope you have a wonderful week!
Supplies: Cardstock: PTI Kraft, Vintage Cream & True Black; Ink: PTI True Black; Stamps: ODBD As You Graduate; Smooch; Kaiser clear rhinestones; Close to My Heart patterned paper.
