This is the first card I did after the bug bit me again last week, and I discovered the numerous origamic architecture web sites out there.

I decided to incorporate curves along the horizontal planes, something I had never really done much with before. I think it looks nice, although it does have a bit of a 70's vibe to it. I also miscalculated the offset of the semicircular platform on the second level; the curve was supposed to be concentric with the lower level.

I did the actual design in a vector-based illustration program and printed it onto a sheet of Epson Heavy-weight Matte paper. This turned out to be a tiny bit heavy, although in fairness I should also note that I didn't bother to reverse-score the fold lines on the opposite site of the piece when cutting it out; in the past I always used flimsy paper and I could get away with scoring everything on the back side.
