Just finished this card for a special young lady in Texas who is graduating High School early this month. I wanted it to be vibrant and happy, like she is. It's a bit over-the-top dotty, but the paper just wriggled onto my work table on its own, so I let it have its way. I *love* creating pleated medallions and I dug out my last piece of this seriously beautiful multihued paper from an ancient (I mean really really old) pad of Provocraft paper (Michelle Anderson's Pathways Creative Papers called Illuminations) which made my medallion quite special. I like to punch one edge prior to pleating for the lacy look. What d'you think? I like how this one turned out. Thanks for looking.
Hugs,
Kathy
