I've heard this type of card called many different things but most commonly called tunnel or 3-D picture frame. When making a card which uses templates, special cuts or patterns, I usually make 2 because of the time involved. I did not follow that rule this time for some odd reason. I simply forgot . . .*sigh* . The "tunnel" or frames are on the inside (scroll down for photo).
This card is an odd sized 7" X 5 1/4". Card front background was made using the Texture Duet technique
from the Oct/Nov
Technique Junkies Newsletter. Image was colored with pencils, torn and attached to the top. Added a couple flowers and will put a greeting of some sort in the upper left corner when I am ready to send this off to someone. I'll post 2 pics of the outside. The first shows the truer colors, but at an odd angle:
The second shows full front, but the colors are too bright due to little old me trying to play with getting the colors on this one a little brighter. Nothing seems to be going quite right this week.
Here is the photo of the inside of the card where the "tunnel" comes into play. The outer 3 layers of the frame were not stamped. Instead I used some 3 different scrapbooking papers from Art Impressions, cut and glued onto very light weight cardstock. I found the lighter weight cardstock works better than heavier weight for this in the past. Thanks goodness I remembered that. Inside scene was colored with both pencils and chalks. Cottage and tree stamp from
Wild Frog Creations, pine tree stamp from StampinUp.
Ooh I love the inside Shelley, so gorgeous. I am having one of those weeks as well, everything I touch in crafting just keeps going wrong.......grrrrrrrr Annette x
