I’ve been itching to get my hands on the Mountain Air Bundle to have a play and it just screamed “scenery”, “landscapes” etc so what better way to show it off than by making a diorama card?
A card like this, takes a little longer than 10 minutes, so it’s something to tackle on a rainy day, but the results are so worth it. If, like me, you are also self isolating because of COVID-19, it’s a nice little project to do if you have time on your hands.
Here’s a view from the side…………..
and of course, we can’t forget the back – where there’s somewhere to write your message and for the addressee.
How did I make it? It’s not complicated, but there is rather a lot of cutting and card stock required! I’ve included a comprehensive cutting guide to make it easier to follow listed below. If you’re inspired by this project, and would like to have a go, I suggest you die cut all your pieces and follow along – there’s always the pause button and I’ve made the mistakes so you don’t have to!!! lol!
