Are they Snowdrops?

 

Here are today's makes for Oddball Art Co - Our Oddball theme for this month is 

Lucky Spring Days -St. Patricks Day/Spring Begins

I am using CCC144 Ghoulish Garden and when I first saw this image, I immediately thought of snowdrops!


My first idea was to make an ATC using layers of green and teal on the base.


I then printed the image on a paper from Stay Creepy adding extra colour with markers.


But this was only the start of today's makes... I wanted to use a similar ATC as part of an impossible card.


Step ONE

Make the card base - I actually did this on my Cricut but it is just as easy to draw it out, cut and score and fold, starting with a piece of card 6 inches by 7 inches. 


Step TWO

Score and fold the middle section so that if you twist the right hand side underneath, the base will look like this with the middle section standing up.



Step THREE

Decorate - I added the ATC to the middle.

Step FOUR

I added more of the paper on the front, matted on green - only attaching the left hand side so that the card is still foldable.

Step FIVE

This picture is from above - I added another strip across only attaching to the right hand side, and then two more of the images layered on teal and green.

Step SIX

The card will still lie flat to go in a large envelope like this (folded back to its original shape): 


Or even like this if it's easier.

You will see a similar post on the my blog, Calling all Crafters!

Here are the card and the ATC:
