Perfectly Placed Pleats Challenge

 
Hi there!

Today while browsing Moxie Fab World I came upon the Perfectly Placed Pleats challenge and suddenly felt like trying my hand at it :) the only other challenge I've ever participated in was the KCK Challenge #1 with my tag garland ... and won nothing :) but challenges are challenges, not necessarily for winning, and so I'm going to put my best for this one ... here are my pleats!

 

I used a delicious kraft cardstock from Papermarket to fold the pleats before adhering them to another piece of kraft cardstock with double-sided tape. Trimmed that down and stitched it to my card ...

 

I used VersaMagic white ink to mildly distress the pleats. The papers are from  BasicGrey's Capella collection, sentiment and leaf stamps from PaperTrey Ink, and the KaiserCraft pearls from Spotlight. The flower looks kind of simple, but it took me a while to figure out which areas to layer ... sigh.

 

Ok, let's go ahead and submit it for the challenge ... and whatever happens ... happens.

Thanks for visiting! Your comments are very special to me! :)

Hope you're not too disappointed about KCK challenge #1 and hope to see you at the new challenges.

This card, in all it's loveliness, would be great for a Basic Grey challenge as you've showcased their Capella collection so well.
