Chocolate and cream three-fold card

Another card from the recently acquired kit, this time using a base gloss cream card. I've backed the toppers with V&A linen paper, as well as lining the centre inside.

It was challenge 83 on the Crafty Pad that spurred me on to make this card, asking us to use 'chocolate and cream' - a lovely combination, but one not seen too often on Christmas cards. It also uses colours given in the inspiration photo on Prairie fairy for challenge 32:

I decided to make it a three-fold card for challenge 77 on Rosie-D and Pixie Cottage 31: 'a fancy fold'.

As there are camels on the front, it also fits Raise the bar 31: 'ABC - animal, brown and clean & simple'.





This is also for:

Sundays with Crissy 7: 'Christmas in July'
Ann's creative nook 100: 'Christmas in August'
