I just purchased this cute image from my local stamp store... Coloured image with copic markers. Sponged on the sky with soft sky ink. Stamped on the sentiment from Stampin Up's "Well Scripted" set. For my pleated section I used purple mulberry paper. I used a scalloped punch - but it kind of chewed up the paper. I matted the image with purple and white card stock. Attached the pleated border and sewed around image panel. I used two different dp designs - they are from an old package of Costco card stock I think I purchased around 4 - 5 years ago. Cut two 5" squares from the card stock. cut in half on an angle, layered over a 5" white square. Added the purple ribbon and sewed around the edges. Image panel is popped up. Finished the inside of the card.
Thanks for looking.
Hugs.. Pat

So sweet, Pat, the idea of the mouse colouring the flowers is delightful. I think you could have fun using nontraditional colours, but I do love velvety-purple pansies. Mulberry paper I find almost impossible to punch, though I've achieved moderately OK results by folding a piece of thin copy paper round it, which gives the punch something firmer to bite into. But it must have been lovely to pleat!
