Welcome to August to the Splitcoast Fan Club Aug Christmas Challenge! Bet you're wondering what the challenge theme is.. I'd love to tell you but you'll have to go see for yourself. You'll need to be a Fan Club member, so click the blue link to find out how.
I remembered an origami bow I made several years ago & thought I'd make another for this card. After I found the instructions, I had to practice a bit to remember how it's done. I stamped the Palm Bg using a Kaliedacolor greens ink pad all over a piece of lightweight card stock, measuring 4" square. I'll warn you, it's harder to fold when you use anything heavier than 24lb paper. You can make these as big or as small as you'd like..you just need to start w/ a square. I used a fine tip red marker to add the berries on the stamped bg. Then I folded the bow. The present was die cut & I used an embossing folder that was half snowflakes, half dots w/ a blank strip in the center. The greeting tag & a die cut red berry branch finished it.
Thanks for looking. Product links & a link to the origami bow instructions are on my blog: The Write Stuff
