Dare to be Square birthday card for sister-in-law.

Hello all, I have just finished a card for my sister-in-law, who has her birthday in May. A good thing she doesn't know about my blog as yet!

Here is just a quick peek. I thought it would be quite a good one for the Dare to be Square challenge on Funky Fairies as well, but I may just be a bit too late for that.

It has used four of their papers from the pink range, though.

For the spinning image inside the card, I have used the CuddlyBuddly freebie, 4 layers of it cut in different stages for a 3D image. I flipped the image for the other side of the spinner.

Inside the card I used their background and another image in the background.

This is one of the first stages of the card.

For this I chose a pink card blank for the outside of the card and for the inside of the card, measuring 13.5cm square. I then cut out 4 squares of the Funky Fairies backing paper, 12.5, 11.5, 10.5 and 9.5 cm square and layered them onto the base card.

Next I cut out a rectangle half the size of the image at the front of the card. This is one I got from The Lilac Garden.

The second stage of the card was to decorate the inside of the outside part of the card. A bit of the backing paper used on the inside of the card was used for this, with the cuddlybuddly bear image added to this. You can see this below.

And here are some of the views of the finished card, it is quite difficult to show this type of card of in the best possible way. It is again one of the swinging window cards with the swinging image in the middle as well. The picture below shows the card from the side with the swinging window.

Another view of it.

And another one while the card is lying down.

A similar view.

A view from the front with the swinging window. Quite fitting as she is quite keen on fashion and shopping.

A view of the inside of the card, if you look closely you can just spy the background bears.

A view of the inside with the spinner from the side, so the inside bears can be seen.

And another view from the front.

I hope you all like the card and although I think I may just about be too late to enter it into the challenge, I will try.

Thank you all for looking. Any comments very much appreciated. Have a good week!
