8 Maids a Milking.

Day 8 of my 12 days of Christmas challenge to myself. Getting to be a tad complicated  now putting all the images onto one card so this called for my thinking cap to go on and to come up with a multipage card design.
This one is a combination of an accordian style from splitcoast stampers and one I found on You Tube by SuzanneLily.
So I give you:

On the Eighth day of Christmas my True love gave to me Eight Maids a Milking.

I used (4) 120cm square card blanks and scored 2 at 60cm opposite fold to card.
Die is Spellbinders  'Majestic Elements'.
Sentiment generated in word.
Ribbon and pearls from stash.


The first accordian fold .
Digi from Cuddly Buddly by Barbara Anne Williams
Coloured using Graph'it pens & pearlescent chalks.
Papers are from  Hot Off The Press 'Forever Christmas cards paper stack ' a mag freebie.
Green check paper a snippet left over from a Nov 2011 project.

2nd accordian fold.
