My inspiration came from France's project that highights a Tunnel card. I love the fun fold in this card. It's kind of like a pop up but with a beautiful window to peek through. 
 
I was also inspired by Kylie & Stephanie's cards from earlier this week. 

I'm so pleased to see the "Land to Sea" (pg 98) stamp set return this year! When I saw France's card I immediately thought of the beautiful Octopus and how gorgeous it would look swimming in the middle of the tunnel - so I got crafty!
Try making this card! Here's how to create a tunnel card...
  • Cut an A4 sheet in half - you will need both pieces for this Tunnel card
  • Score one A5 sheet in half  at 4-1/8"
  • Score the other A5 sheet at 2-1/8", 4-1/8" & 6-1/8"
  • Cut any shape you want from the middle of the sheet with 3 score lines
  • After all your stamping and embellishing, adhere the 2 bases together only adding glue to the end panels.
I totally love the new COPPER Embossing powder! The colour is so true and feels like real copper. To create the scalloped edges on the greeting, I embossing a plain piece of whisper white by just stamping my versamark ink over some paper and covering it with emboss powder. I then cut out 2 'badges' using the new Best Badges punch! I embossed the Octopus onto Vellum and fussy cut him out. Haven't seen this greeting anywhere?? Well that's because I created it myself using the new Brushwork Alphabet stamp set, (with the retired rotary stamp) - I'm l Loving the font
It's been ages since I last stenciled. This is super easy to do. Using your swirly bird coordinating framelits I cut the waves out from printer paper.  Some scrap or thicker cardstock would work even better. I sellotaped the ends back in place. How EASY is that?
Be inspired with this colour combination, feel free to share and pin it!
