Thank you, Fern, for reminding us of such a cool technique.... Paper Pleats! I made today's card for someone leaving on vacation, and my pleats are the tied-back tent flaps. I used several different stamp sets to create my scene: Under the Stars (raccoon and chow), Happy Camper (trees and campfire), and Cute and Curly (sentiment). The trees were stamped first, then masked so that I could sponge in the night sky. The ground is also sponged. The moon is made from a 3/4 inch circle post-it that was put down before sponging. The sentiment is computer generated and punched out with the Curly Label punch and mounted on popdots. The campfire, raccoon and grub were stamped on white cardstock and cut out with scissors, then popped up with dimensional popdots. They are colored in with colored pencils.
Thanks again, Fern.... I enjoyed this challenge today, and I appreciate you taking a closer look at my card! Have a great afternoon!

Oh - this is just wonderful. So creative. I love you scene.
I nearly added tie-backs to my curtains, but they would have been lost behind the window. That is just like the tent we used to camp in the garden in when we were kids .
