Hi everyone, it's time for the Group of Cardmakers technique. This month we have layered scene as our design theme.
I need to get a start on my Christmas cards so sorry if you aren't ready for a Christmas reminder yet but I need close to 100 by the end of the year 🤣
Layered scenes can be done in a couple of ways, the idea is to add depth to your scene by adding foam tape or using folds in your card. It's amazing how much dimension you get with both.
I created a tunnel card using die cut apertures similar to the one on Caroline Paton of KISS (keep it sweet and simple) blog and some foam tape behind each layer.
I used a Hexagon die and cut the layers out of white cardstock, the reason I used white was I wanted the edges to be white from the sides. I coloured the apertures with alcohol pens and used a scrap of black card with a cling wrap print on it as my sky. The die cut snow scene was cut from an old Stamping up Die set (now retired). I added some tiny sequins to the sky as stars. I really enjoyed making the card as it was fun creating the layers. I think I'll be giving this one out in person as it's little bulky to mail.

This is such a sweet Christmas card, Christine!! I love the hexagon framing with the beautiful shades of blue. Your scene is lovely especially with the night sky and falling snow. Great work, my friend! xx
Oh wow!!! The tunnel card is one of my favorite layering techniques, and I think one of the most difficult to pull off. But you've taken it to the next level with these colorful borders! I can't take my eyes off this card. Fabulous, brilliant!

I love the colourful edges to to the hexagon layers Christine, and some great contrast with the black sky with the pretty added sequins for stars, and the layers of the white scene with the houses, trees and sleigh in the foreground looks fabulous...a beautiful card. x
