Today is the day we see all of the cards exchanged for the November Card Chain Challenge! This time I sent my card to Hilary in the UK and I received a card from Joanne in CT.
This month I chose the color palette option of White on White on White! (I pretty much did that with the exception of the dark starry sky in back of the Holy Family and soft coloring with Copics on the animals in the foreground), the technique - Tunnel card and the Theme - Nativity!
I watched this YouTube Video to see how to make this Tunnel card.
by thepaperpixie.com here's her blog post:
It measures 4 1/4" x4 1/4" and 1" deep
I used larger circle dies as I wanted the last one to be a large enough to show the Nativity.
I fussy cut around the animals stamping and adhered them onto the 2nd opening. I lightly colored them with Copics. I added Silver Star Confetti to the top corners on the outside.
I die cut the circle sentiment with 2 5/16" and 1 7/8" circle dies to fit around the last opening. I added a circle of the dark starry sky DP on the back panel slightly larger than the last circle opening. The silver stars were printed on the DP. I die cut the Nativity, colored the halos with a Metallic Gold Sharpie and centered them on the DP inside the last circle.
Side and back view.
Showing how it will lay flat for mailing in a regular A2 envelope.
