The January Crafty Calendar Challenge begins today with the theme 'Include a Tag' and here is my DT card.
This is the second time I've made a Double Tower Fold card, the instructions can be found HERE. This time I wanted the central panel wider, so I adjusted the measurements and started off with a sheet of white card 6" x 10" and the panel in the centre is 4" wide. When folded for posting, the card measures 6" x 6". The tag was made with with an MFT 'Cross-stitch Tag' die and I used crochet cotton to cross stitch the flamingo pattern. The background was embossed with a Crafter's Companion 'Sew Lovely - Sashiko' embossing folder and the ribbon was from my stash,
The Crafty Calendar Challenge ends on 28th January and there is lots of inspirations from the DT on the challenge blog.
