Hi friends, I recently revisited the Tunnel Fold style and made these two fun cards.

This portrait ‘Giraffe Hotel’ version was made during one of my Facebook Lives. It’s a place I would love to visit one day, so I thought I would settle with a card version until that day comes!

During the live, someone suggested turning it into a pond which I thought was a wonderful idea.

It works so well with the Paper Discovery stamps and dies I have.

I went a little heavy with the Glossy Accents and it warped the vellum on the windows, but, somehow it works and makes it look like mottled glass.

You can see below how the layers work.

It all folds down to a 6 x 6 size and is held together with a belly band.

You can see the depth created by added those layers.
