This was so much fun to create for Annie, and I cross my fingers it will arrive!!
I've had these pretty images since a very long time but they are a bit too big for a normal card size, I've used 3layers, the first layer is on the silver base, then I've added acetate between the accordion fold and added the second and third layer there, then I've closed with another acetate layer, added lace on top and made the theater curtains from real red velvet, mounted on toothpicks and tied with lace.
I've added a note because I didn't want to write on this
I hope she'll like it

Super card!!!! The stage with actual lace and velvet curtains is amazing. She'll feel like she's back directing a play when she sees this. And the scene, well...it's a favorite of mine since it's one done by one of my all time fav artists, Carl Larsson!

AMAZING! You have created a fabulous scene for any theater lover and Maggie is going to be blown-away with this. All the details and layers and work. This is just spectacular, Anita.

So much depth in this card. Adding an acetate sheet between the accordion fold gives the figures so much more stability and keeps them from getting hung up on each other when in the closed position. Super execution.

This is incredible. What a lot of effort went into this and it shows. So much detail to see. I wish I could see it in person so I could fully appreciate it.
