pop up christmas card

sssshhhh but i have to let you into a secret

this card has a "design feature" aka "i-stuffed-something-up"

i wonder if you can figure out what it is?

 the cover is using bearing gfts coloured with blendabilities and some masking and brayering.

inside though....

 i have made it a pop up card!

 i added a sentiment cut up around the base and layered trees around the background.

here's the actual mechanics of how i did the pop up part-just a small strip of card folded into 4 even pieces  to make a square and stuck down. 

easy

bearing christmas cards

slowly very slowly getting through my christmas card list

 here i used the the bearing gifts stamp set and my blendabilities

then i used some post it notes to mask the image and make the moon so i could then brayer over it in a variety of blue inks. 

i tried making a mask from the stars border punch and it kinda worked but images weren't as crisp as i wanted...hence the extra stars from glitter card :)

 i like using non-traditional colour combinations so have gone for a daffodil/turquoise/gumball/red/tangelo mix.

the inside flaps  (man what dodgey photography-apologies lolol) with sentiment and plenty of space for writing or a family photo.
