I loved the yellow and green color scheme and as soon as I saw that pretty yellow pillow with the simple green band, I remembered a card posted a while back by Stephanie ( http://stampingsharing.blogspot.com/2012/04/with-gratitude.html). She used a CAS design on her card with gorgeous pleated patterned paper.
Here is my card inspired by Stephanie:
I used patterned paper by Simple Stories, Summer Fresh collection. The stamps are PTI's Wildflower Garden and the cute bees are from Honey Bees. The ribbon is Harvest Gold and I also used a linen/canvas impression plate to add a little texture to the cardbase.Here's a close-up of the pleats:
Those little pleats are actually very easy to make...thanks Stephanie for the great inspiration!
