Color Throwdown Challenge 14

Today's Color Challenge is from Tammy and it is a real eye-opener:  Tangerine Tango, Kiwi Kiss & Taken with Teal! 

At first I thought I would have a difficult time with these, but they are great Halloween colors, so I had just the set in mind!  My upline had a meeting on Saturday and one of the demonstrators, Sue Selfridge, demo'ed this cute card.  I call it a teepee card because it reminds me of a little Indian teepee!!  Perhaps you have seen it around; it was new to me!  I hope to have the directions either later today or tomorrow.  It is quite easy, but it helps to have visuals.  So here is my card for the challenge:

You can see in the photo above that the lower corner of the panel tucks into a little slot so you can actually unfold the card & mail it in an envelope!

 

Below is how the card looks unassembled; the star is on a toothpick and just sits inside the top; it is not attached.

The images are from a little teeny Hero Arts set, and it came with some little rhinestones---just too cute!  I also used some images from the Crafty Secrets Vintage Halloween set.  The basics of the card are simple:  three squares of cardstock, cut all the same size, are scored and folded diagonally.  This card used 3 1/2" squares; a 4" size will still fit into a standard envelope.  Then the squares are attached as shown and when the two outer panels overlap, it forms a little stand-up teepee!  The star was made by taking a square of Basic Black cardstock, coating it with Versamark, then heat-embossing it with Iridescent Ice EP; after it cooled, I punched out two stars and glued them back to back to a toothpick with Crystal Effects & let it dry overnight.  Again, I'll try to have some photos & instructions later on!
