I entered “Origami Dress” on Pinterest and found lots of options. This template was my favorite and was easy to use. (One added note, on the score lines you’ll notice letters to help with the folding: “M” for Mountain and “V” for Valley.  Research the folds on the web or use the photo of my card as your guide.)

I’m entering this card into several challenges Double D’s Challenge: White with one other color ( I added shades of burgundy as my other color), Pixie's Snippets (it was fun to use some of the scraps I know I’ve had in my scraps files since just after a friend and I sold the stamp store we owned until 2001. So… them be old scraps!)

Supplies: 

·   Origami Dress-Freebie Template found Here

·   Embossed white floral background- from an upcycled notecard

·   Inside sentiment from my scrapbook stash

·   Cardstock, scraps of patterned paper and satin ribbon, and other items from my stash.

I had so much fun creating a card with this wonderful Llama digi from artist Patti Gomez, especially when I used a few scraps of metallic silver paper and a snarky sentiment to give her a BIG personality!) I also love that Patti named her Linda. One of my best friends, named Linda, went to her heavenly mansion last fall after a five-year struggle with cancer… and she would have loved this card. (I am thinking I’ll send it to her daughter, who inherited her mom’s sense of humor and addiction to making cards. I know it will make her smile!)  

I’m entering this card into several challenges, including Incy Wincy Designs (my card fits into the floral category, due to the lovely lei. It also features all the colors in the palette- although it doesn’t show up in the pic, the centers of the flowers have a dot of light yellow Liquid Pearls); The Paper Shelter: Flower Power (Linda is rockin’ that Lei!); and Outlawz: Festive Friday (the mirrored sunglasses clearly reflect the theme “Summer.” See what I did there? Mirrored… reflect? Ha!)  

 

Supplies: 

·   Digi- Patties Creations (Linda the Diva Llama)

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Sentiments- Beccy’s Place Digi Set (Stanley’s Birthday) Retired
