Pleated Skirt Fold card

Hello everyone!  Today I am sharing another card made from a tutorial at SplitcoastStampers.com.
This is a fun site for paper crafters, particularly stampers like me.  I pretty much copied the card exactly, which I normally don't do but I really like this paper and I loved how the pleated skirt shows off both sides of the double sided paper.

See that beautiful paper?  It is called Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper. Lovely!








I did my scoring just a little differently than the tutorial because I wanted more pleats and I wanted them more even. 
I cut my paper at 3 by 7 3/8.  Then I scored at 3, 3 1/2, 4 1/2, 4, 5, 5 1/2, 6.  basically half inch,, inch, half inch, inch....  fold the first fold back then forward as in the photo.  

 








I adhered the flat 3 x 3 square all down, then just added adhesive to the top of the pleated area so that it can appear lose, like a skirt :)

I then added a strip of adhesive to the top of the designer paper so that I could attach the ribbon. 

I used 'Wink of Stella' to make my flower image shimmery like the ribbon. 

Here is a version in Watermelon Wonder and in Pool Party.

So pretty, those flowers are great for birthdays of course, but think of the pretty Mother's Day cards or Easter scrapbook pages featuring that pretty flower!
