HIMCR Challenge #197 - Any Holiday

Are you ready for another challenge over at Hiding in My Craftroom!?

This week's challenge is Any Holiday - It is also my last challenge as a HIMCR DT member. I've had so much fun on this DT!

Our sponsor this week is: The Paper Shelter

Prize: 2 images

I've really been trying out a bunch of different folds, but I find it difficult to find clear tutorials on them all or I have an issue trying to think of what to search for.... and then I found this AWESOME link on Beccy's Place Blog - A to Z of folded cards! Every card fold you can imagine and almost all of them have tutorials too!! This is a diamond fold card and I just LOVE how it turned out!

For this week I made a New Year's card, for whatever reason the image "Tango" reminded me of it.

The following items were used to create this card:

Striped, black, white Cardstock - Stash
