I'm still folding for Christmas - I found another pack of tree cards yeserday so have been making them up as a change from bells, then this evening I've gone back to baubles. So far I've made only one holly card because I messed up the first one by covering the front in holly patterned paper but didn't like the finished effect, however I was able to salvage the IF and mount it behind a new front which you can see here. I had to trim the white card because the leaf looked a bit lost, and the berries are punched from mirri card because the only red gems I have are too small, but from an overall shaky construction I'm pleased with the finished effect and will get cracking on making some more. By the way, the tree is mounted on gold with a gold star and peel off greeting (I cannot bring myself to make anything but green trees). You may be relieved to hear that this will probably be my last IF post because I've now shown samples of all the designs I have: plenty more of the same to make up but next time I hope to have something completely different to show off.
Oh my goodness, these are super! What a fabulous fold - I don't think I could do that if I tried, lol! Wonderfully done and a perfect holiday card! :)
ReplyDeleteI still think they're all fantastic! That is an awesome technique. I'm going to have to research it to find out how it works. Way cool!
ReplyDeleteHi, I like your technique - it's different and interesting. Great job :-)

ReplyDeleteFiona,
ReplyDeleteThe tree and holly leaf are amazing! No idea how you did it, but they are works of art. I love looking at all your cards, and these stand out as some of the best!
