I find it quite interesting to explore the kinds of card making and crafts that are popular in other areas of the world. I'm so focused on stamping that sometimes I just feel the need to wander away from that. One place that is great for ideas is the message boards over at Circle of Crafters. This was where I originally learned about iris folding and tea bag folding. I hadn't given 3-D cards a go before this but some of the pyramid sheets are so pretty that I thought I'd try one.
Here's my first go at it so be gentle!
The flower image is from a pyramid sheet created by the generous crafters at CoC. I couldn't completely give up the stamping so the background stamp is from Cornish Heritage Farms and the small sentiment is from a recent set from Papertrey Ink.
I'm really glad I gave this a try. I'm sure I'll be back for more.
This is a beautiful card. What a great technique. I would have never thought of it, but it is very striking! TFS!
