Time once more for the girls in the
Christmas Card Club to show our makes.
The theme was chosen by Carol and is
Santa Claus is Coming to Town.
For me this meant having another rummage
in my used Christmas card pile for s suitable image.
I found this one with Santa Claus in his sleigh
flying over the sleeping townsfolk.
Simples!
Well it would have been if I hadn't
had the bright idea of making a
Recessed Window card and also
covering the entire front with strips
of holographic sticky tape and then
the inside to neaten up as well!!
The tutorial to make this card is from
and explains each step clearly.
Finished card doesn't show it but
there is a fair amount of cutting and folding
to do and in my case an awful lot of
sticking too.
This is the inside of the front cover.
Side view of card showing
the recessed window.
After all that sticking I just added
an Anita's self adhesive sentiment
and called it a day (well night actually!)
Entering into the following challenges. Well it would be rude not to:

Another beautiful recycle - and it's brilliant on this gleaming card. Can just imagine the fussiness of that sticky back work, but it is most impressive as this frame around the pretty scene. You are so adventurous, and it always pays off in your design creations. This one is just great! TFS & Happy Sunday. Hugs

Oh my guddy Aunt Mrs A - you couldn't just upcycle that great card image by trimming it and slapping on the front of a card blank could you?! Ohhhh, nooooooooo - you then had to make the fantastic aperture thingy, amazing result and well worth all the work!
