This card also fits right in with the GC67: Random Redhead Challenge: Go 3D over at
Gingersnap Creations blog.
Scroll down for all the pics, there's several. I used a TJ technique called a Zig Zag Accordian Card, but I altered it to suit my needs. The base of this one is actually 8 1/2" wide. Wasn't sturdy enough to suit me at that size so I added braces to the bottom.
The embellishments on the base include a black panther peeking from behind the bushes where he lays in wait of prey and a tribal carving. The leaves, flowers and bushes are all hand cut and glued only at the base
so the tops float freely and are also layered with 1/8" thick mounting tape and 1/4" thick mounting tape.
Front of Card
The monkey stamp is from Diamonds rubber stamp company.
Inside of Card
Guess I can write happy birthday in.
Base of Card
Detail photos came out blurry. Figures. I may be able to retake them later, but these will do for now.
Guess this card will have to be put into a box instead of an envelope. Oh well, I had fun doing it.
