Well Watercooler Wednesday's challenge is an ode to Moms for the upcoming Mother's Day. I've been wanting to try the pleated paper fold on a card and finally bit the bullet...tossed in Just Add Ink's floral image and colour combo from their challenge inspiration picture: Sweet Sugarplum, Mint Macaron, Rich Razzleberry, and Garden Green. Stamped the roses from one of my fave sets ~ Stippled Blossoms...dry embossed the Sweet Sugarplum layer with the Elegant Dots embossing folder. Added my fave butterfly from the soon to be retired Papillion Potpourri. Stamped the Sentiment from the Oh So Succulents with Rich Razzleberry and layered with the Sweet Sugarplum punched label. Finished the card with some teeny pearls and a strip of silver glimmer paper. Voila!!!
Happy Mothers Day to ALL the Moms out there, especially my Mom and Grandma!xoxo
Deets: All Stampin Up
EDIT: Best news evah after a crappy afternoon and a working a 13 hour day...my card won Honourable Mention from the Watercooler Wednesday's theme challenge. Looking forward to the next Watercooler Wednesday challenge. Thank you to the Watercooler Wednesday peeps! :)
Thanks for dropping by and feel free to leave some blog love.

Voila! What a beautiful card for the challenge. I have been meaning to try that fold as well. Maybe this summer. You have again, created a gorgeous card!
What a gorgeous card, Sheri! Love the way you've combined the challenges. The Stippled Blossoms are perfect, especially the way you've coloured them. And pleating the DSP---brilliant. This is a card any mother would love to receive. Thanks for joining Penny's Mom theme Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.

Thank you Marsha! Now if I could have mailed the card in time...it would have been better. Oh well..better late than never. ;)
Having seen this stunning card come together and how beautiful it is inside and out, this picture just doesn't do it justice. The pleated dsp is so beautiful and all of the other details you've added to this card just shine. I wish everyone could have seen the real meal deal. Sheri my girl, you totally outdid yourself on this beautiful card and I know your sweet mom is going to treasure it. Hugs!
Awww...thank you Penny! Enjoyed participating in your challenge and trying the something new to me..pleated paper fold. Off to mail the card so that it's going to be fashionably late. :(
