Angel Tri Shutter for the Ho Ho Ho Holidays!


In the spirit of the season the challenge for the next two weeks at Retro Rubber Blog Challenge is Ho Ho Ho Holidays.  


 For those of you that know me well, it will not surprise you that this card includes an angel.  I have collected angels for at least 40 years, and this image is from 1998! Tri Shutter cards are fun to put together and by using a combination of inks on different panels the card is easily color coordinated.  
Front view with the card closed.

  2. WOW! This is amazing Neva. I love tri-shutter cards, but they scare me a bit, so maybe I can use your instructions and not make a mess of it. I don't share your Angel fascination, mine is mermaids...lots and lots of mermaids. It has been a great year being on the same DT as you, I've learnt so much from you all. Happy Holidays to you and yours. Cx
