New Flower Folding Technique from Squares

{The SECRET to having it all ... is BELIEVING you already do...}

I have tried a new Flower Folding technique using only squares. The flower on this card had been created with 5x5cm square punch-outs using my Paper Shapers punch. I saw this technique being demonstrated on YouTube and it was just to enticing not to give it a go. Using double sided pattern cardstock gives it an extra dimension. This whole card even the backdrop to the folded flower has been created with 5x5cm square punch-outs.

I am entering this creation into the following Challenges this week with the criteria being a new technique I tried my hand at:
