I call it a Christine Tri-Fold Book :) The musical instruments and Holly and bows from the brand new Drummer Boy set were colored with Copic Markers, Evergreen, Fields and Water Collections, and then cut out with the Large Octagonal Nestabilities, and then adding the bows and holly popped up. Kaiser Rhinestones as accent. Lots more pictures at the Flourishes Newsletter too.
For this card I took some great instruction from Valerie Stangle on how she made a vertical Z-Fold Card from World Cardmaking Day. She's so creative with her Scor Pal!!
I love the different and classy look to this card! I watercolored and sponged the doves scene from the new Dove and Holly set in deep colors, Soft Suede, Bravo Burgundy and Always Artichoke. I did an-out-of-the-box cutting of the Doves with my Labels One Nestabilities.
Here is a picture of the card open:
The embossed layer is done with the Finial Press Embossing folder, and I bordered the bottom with the Fancy Scalloped Pierceabilities, and the background paper is 7Gypsies Savannah. I LOVE how the Finishing Touches brads look on this card as the accents too.
And here is a picture all the way open so you can see the back panel:
The sentiment is from the new Christmas Music set.
The Design Team Girls have used their own Fancy Folds today so here's their links to check them out too!
