Pleated Paper Frame with Dazzles Scraps

The color on this isn't true -- there is no hint of orange, but the glittery paper played tricks on my camera! The pleating was inspired by a challenge on Nancy's Creative Space.

The card starts with a focal that is actually a design on the inside page that you can see through a hole in the front of the card. The frame is made from strips of paper scored every 1/4" and folded accordion style. I cut them at 45 degree angles to miter the corners.

To decorate the card a bit, I added a few Jewel Dazzles to form flower accents. The dark pink sparkley frame border, diagonal "ribbons", and greeting were all cut from scraps of the dazzles material that came with the Jewel Dazzles.
