Cards Made at Dawn's Session





Here are my versions of the cards made at Dawn's craft session yesterday.....

2nd card....was a nightmare....loads and loads of cutting out...you can't see very clearly.....but it's a stepped card with an acetate tent effect.....the finished effect is better than I thought it would be!

3rd .....we had a choice of inserts here...Art deco or Christmas......and made into a tunnel card...I love this one!

4th .....a combi Art Deco/Xmas this time with handmade flowers......finished effect is better than the pic!

Paper Flowers





Thiscard is made using one of my Lottie drawings...and iscoloured with copics...the layout I snagged from this week's Just Magnolia challenge...great ain't it?
