Nativity Tri-Fold card

Good Morning everyone.

Today im sharing a tri fold Christmas card using this fab nativity die set from Spellbinders.  

Approx size A6 (4x6")  I first took a sheet of A4 card and scored and folded into three using the DL line on my scoreboard.  I then took the outside cutting die to die cut a window in the front and middle sections, i did this in one go through both layers so that they line up perfectly.  As my arch dies aren't deep enough to cut 3 layers of 300gsm, i drew around the largest die at the top of the card and hand cut to give an arched window shape to my cardblank.  I then used an distress embossing folder to emboss the whole cardbase.

I then die cut the silhouette scene from black pearl card and the star rays from gold mirror card. I used a crealies arch die to cut them bigger than the aperture so i could glue them in easily - so the front panel is glued in from the back to hide all glue.  I added ombre paper to the back panel to show through the windows.  

Computer printed sentiment and die cut holly from gold mirror card and glitter glue holly berries to finish.

Showing it stood up with the light shining through the layers

My middle panel i added some little die cut donkeys for the stable from the black pearl cardstock.  

Just a close up

Showing it from above.  So as not to spoil the effect when its stood on the mantle piece i opted to put the sentiment and place to write on the back of the back panel so you can't see writing through my windows.
