BC196 - Simplicity

Wow it's finally Friday and what a week it's been.
So what does this photo have to do with the BC Challenge?
Absolutely Nothing...but if you'd like an explanation click here:





Now for my card: Our challenge this week was Patterned Papers. (Easy Peasy, right!) Well with all that's been going on this week I was hoping to opt for something super easy like plopping some DP on a card and calling it good. Then good old list mom, Lisa sends an email to the group saying we should be "creative" with our use of the DP, maybe alter something with DP, try Iris Folding, Tea Bag folding etc...well let's just say I'm really "Challenged" in those areas. I've bought books on Tea Bag and Iris Folding and just can't seem to get the hang of either one. I was stuck as to what I could come up with and really tired from the festivities this week so I wasn't going to participate. Then I remembered that in my "hopefuls" project box I had an Oragami Folded shirt that I managed (with some helpful pointers from my daughter) to fold several years ago and stuck in the box for the right moment. Well now that moment has arrived!

Details: Stamps: Hero Arts
Card Stock: Chocolate Chip, Cajuz Craze, Very Vanilla
Patterned Paper, Sources Unknown as both pieces have been in my stash forever and I have no clue what company I got them from.
Ink: Dusty Durango
Pearls: Zva
Embossing Folder - Textile (Cuttlebug)

I think I need to follow the advice on the card.
