Hi,
Happy Friday!
Of late I have been making single layer and CAS cards more so this time tried to challenge myself and make something different. I came across this
tutorial on tunnel cards by Jennifer Mcguire and I was sure this needs to be tried. So here is what I came up with
The outside
The inside view
As I said, I followed the tutorial for the measurements. The top I tried to keep simple, initially I planned to keep only the butterfly but it was looking too plain so went with some smooshing. I added the bottom brown strip to hide my flaw :(. As even after following the instructions, the upper flap was little shorter than the base of the card. So added the strip to cover up that flaw :) Added the washi on the strip to make it more interesting.
Coming to the inner tunnel mechanism, the windows are hand cut. That was the only challenging part as I did not get a very smooth finish. Tried my best to hide the rough edges under the stamped and fuzzy cut leaves and flowers(Layered Mangolia, Leafy, Beautiful butterfly from Mudra). Added layered design using DI at bottom most surface to create some interest before stamping the sentiment. To finish off added few sequins and gems.
I enjoyed making this tunnel card and hope you like it. Thanks for reading through patiently :)
Have a great weekend !!!
