Fairy Merry Christmas

C4C205FairyChristmas-wm

Hi everyone,

It’s challenge time with the “Crazies” over on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog.This week our challenge hostess for September Cindy Haffner finishes off the month with another fun challenge.

This week Cindy has challenged us to Bows … use bows on your card/project this week.

For my card this week I have made a Gatefold card creating an opening on the front of the card using an ornament die. The image is a cute Christmas Fairy I received free with a magazine and is from Tiddly Ink.

My bow is a paper bow created using a die from MFT. I also added die cut Christmas Trees (Taylored Expressions) and Pine Branches (Impression Obsession).

Here is the inside of my card. The Fairy is mounted using the same ornament die used to cut the hole from the front of my card. I added some pieces of holly to the top of the card and ornaments on each flap. The ornament on the left has the sentiment the other is blank so I can write my message on it to whoever this is to go to.

Don't forget to check out the rest of the “Crazies” cards over on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog and also their individual blogs for more details.

Frances, yours is such a wonderful interpretation of a gate card! And a bit daunting! Did you have any false starts with getting the opening right? Did you cut the ornament opening and then cut it in half and then adhere that to the two halves? I guess I could think about it a bit more and figure it out. anyway, I guess it just shows you'll always be a genius in my eyes! :) XO, Mary
