Annie’s Ink-Lings
What I have for you today is a really delightful card. I first made this style of card over 20 years ago. When I came across it while browsing through my saved cards, I just knew I had to share it with you. The original card was made in shades of lavender and purple. Wanting to do something different, this time I chose shades of green. While there are quite a few panels to cut, once cut it really doesn't take that long to put it together. The hardest part was trying to simplify the directions for you. If you have questions, be sure to contact me. The directions turned out to be a bit lengthy, but I wanted to make them as clear as possible. So, take a look and see what you think.
