{If you want to feel RICH, just count the things you have that money can't buy.}
I have created another easel card with my new found Flower Folding technique using only squares. The flower on this card had been created with 5x5cm scalloped square punch-outs using my Upikit punch. I saw this technique being demonstrated on YouTube . Using double sided Basic Grey 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.
At least I've got one Xmas card for 2012 done and dusted.
