A Curved Card.

Another new shape card for you
and it is also time for the girls
in the Christmas card club to show our latest cards.
The theme was chosen by Mary H and is for 
'Snow covered Trees.'

I had this used Christmas card
in my stash so this was my starting point.

I had in the back of my mind to do a type of curved card
and having trawled the web to no avail for instructions
just set to and made it up as I went along so to speak!
There was probably an easier way of making it  but here
is the finished card..

The tab tucked  in place to make the curve.


Side view of card.

Backing paper by Alison Butler and the silver stick on border
came from Poundland.

Front of the card laid out flat.
You cab see the tab that is used to tuck  into a slot on the inside of card.
I used Stickles on the trees to enhance the snow effect
and found some turquoise gems in my stash that matched
the backing paper.
Navy pearlised card from my stash as well.

Entering into the following challenges:

  16. You are a genius with these unusual techniques to make folds & shapes! This is such a beautiful scene; love that you recycled and someone else will get to enjoy the lovely card again. You made it truly your own with the curving panorama - how pretty it will look when it is displayed. TFS & Hugs
