A special card...


This is the last of the cards made for my friends special birthday.  This one is from me!  It was started at a class I went to run by Mel Heaton - what a lovely lady - we had a great time creating with her.  
There was a lot of measuring and matting and layering to do so a lot of the card had to be finished off at home, but I think it was well worth the extra time.  
Pull the tag at the top and this is what happens...


 Cool eh?  I even added a back to the card so that the clever mechanism was covered up and also the card was able to be displayed standing up.


 Just need to make a box now and jobs a good un!


 Materials...
  • mostly items used were provided by Mel Heaton at the class.  The papers were absolutely gorgeous as were the butterfly stamps but I can't remember the make of either. I should have wrote things down, but I was too busy crafting.


Challenges...
Have a fun day whatever you are up to.

How pretty. I'm guessing the mechanism is some type of waterfall card. I love the colours and the butterflies. Must have been a great class and fun to make. Thankyou for fluttering by my challenge. Hugs Mrs A.

Love your card Ann and I am certain your 'special friend' will do too.
Pleased you decided not to rush finishing it at class, I always like to take my time too but fancy not remembering to write down what you had used.
Hugs
