Pleated Happy Birthday

Happy Monday everyone... We are having a very rainy, dreary day here in Nanaimo, B.C. I am hoping the sun will peak through at some point - but the weather man says it is going to rain all week long :(

Here is another card I want to share with you - I made it late last night. I combined three challenges - yesterday's Featured Stamper over at Splitcoast Stampers - FS153 - WeeBeeStampin (Wendy). I cased this adorable card "Pumpkin Emma". You were to change at least three things - I changed the image, colours and pleated the bottom panel.

My card qualifies for the challenge over at Crazy 4 Challenges - to make a BIRTHDAY card, plus the challenge over at Just Magnolia - to add PLEATING to your card.

My adorable Magnolia image "Tilda with Sunflower" was stamped with Stazon jet black onto Bristol Vellum paper and coloured with Prismacolour pencil crayons and gamsol. Image was matted with Kraft and More Mustard. I used the Stampin Up ticket corner punch on the Kraft.

Card Size is 5 x 6.5. Base card panel is a textured cream white. I pleated the DP then sponged and sanded the pleats. Ran the top cream panel through the Cuttlebug with the Divine swirls folder - I thought it matched the swirls in the Fall Dp. Attached the CB panel and pleated panel to 4.75 x 6.25 More Mustard Panel. Punched out a Scalloped border with Martha Stewart punch. Stamped sentiment onto More Mustard - cut out with oval Spellbinders. Cut out scalloped mat from Kraft. Sponged edges with Close to Cocoa. Sewed all edges. Added the mini copper brads to center of Sunflower. Tied on Ribbon and assembled card. Completed inside of card.
