Finally! This card has been haunting me for a few days now, but I have not managed to get 5 minutes time to make it happen. And then when I do, Blogger conspires to defy me with its "server returns invalid response". Grrrr.
Moving on...fairly simple front, not much to explain, but open it up &
TA-DAAA. A gingerbread house for the man to live in. House is made from a manila swing file, with scraps of red. The roof is strips cut with scalloped scissors & edged with white gel pen.
I was an engineer for 14 years before I had my children, so I find this sort of construction extremely satisfying.The concept came from a book I found in the library years ago: Paper Engineering for Pop-up Books and Cards by Mark Hiner which contains many fab ideas & techniques.
