I made this never-ending card for my Father-in-law's birthday, which we celebrated last night. He is a hands-on-fix-it-type person so appreciated the mechanics of the card. I adapted the instructions found on Dawn's website to create this card.

I have an excess of Kiwi Kiss DSP, so decided to use that to cover the surfaces - there are a lot of surfaces! To create definition, I daubered around each piece of this card in Kiwi Kiss and Chocolate Chip, which created a really nice aged effect. I found it quite difficult to develop this card because I couldn't use dimensionals, ribbons, etc. to create dimension and interest as they would interfere with the movement of the card. Daubering in the two colours gave the dimension that the card needed. Due to the unusual size of the card, I also made an envelope out of the Kiwi Kiss DSP, which gave it a lovely finish.

The never-ending cards are a lot of fun to play with and the kids had plenty of turns before we gave it away. In fact, the more you play with this card, the better it moves!
