Here's a very simple panorama card for Merry Monday:
Using designer paper from the One Horse Open Sleigh pack, I cut a piece into 5 strips, varying the width and length. Then I adhered them to a piece of Early Espresso leaving a small space between each strip.
This technique is fun and interesting - your eye is fooled into ignoring the spaces and creating the entire scene without interruption. The only tricky part is ensuring each strip "matches" the ones next to it so that the scene flows - the fence, the horizon, the house and the trees are all lined up perfectly.
With a Pool Party base this card becomes a non-traditional Christmas card. Would you have thought of it as a holiday card without seeing the greeting? I don't know - I think this could also be used as a birthday or "thinking of you" card. Isn't it great to have versatility?
One Horse Open Sleigh is available now; you will love the beautiful, serene scenes depicted on each page. It's perfect for holiday cards, yet can be used for so much more. Give it a try!
