The Enchanted Forest

A pop up card made from cutting and folding a single sheet of stock depicts a stag standing framed by the convergence of rows of trees receding into the distance. The branches overhead form whirls and spirals. The background is a green textured paper (momigami) with the white card backlit against it.

A lone stag at the focus of a long forest tunnel of wild trees with spiraling branches is my take on a popular origamic architecture/kirigami pop up card theme.
