CHRISTMAS TUNNEL CARD

Good morning, I am back with another post (wow 2 in 2 days). This is a Christmas card with a twist. It is a tunnel card. Never heard of them. Well until a few weeks ago neither had I. That is what I love about being a DT moderator at the Stampin' Dymonz Scrap Shack every week I get to make a new and different card. This week it is the tunnel card. Now when I read that on our schedule, I thought ok here is another card that I am not going to get much use out of. It sounded like it was going to be difficult with lots of pieces. It wasn't. It was actually quite easy to make. And it gave me a chance to get one up on my Christmas cards. And the really easy part is that I did not do any coloring of images.

This is the tunnel part of the card. I used the Nestibilities scalloped oval for my cut out. The stamp is from a Penny Black set that I bought last year and the flourish is from a different set. The paper is from last years DCWV Christmas pad and the card stock is Bazzill and the Paper Company.


And this is the finished product. The ribbon is from my stash. These papers are left over from the inside of the card and the center piece is from Recollections. Well that it is for this card. So easy and I am off to make a couple more. Yes, there are a few challenges.
