    Had a play last night for this challenge and came up with this:

    Just finished it off as my crop a dile came today so was able to add the brads. I like it, but am unsure yet who is going to get it. I also made it a bit of an odd size so haven't an envelope to fit it. Does anyone know of any sites that do templates so I could make my own to fit. Thanks.
    2016 is the year I am going to find time for me, and cherish the time I spend with my friends and family.

    Mumhug...CT ...you have both done an excellent job on your cards they are lovely
    Mumhug...I love that you have used them as plant pots
    CT...I really like your sentiment disc thats unusual and I love the colour
    Skiegirl...If i use pads I tend to put 3 across the top middle and bottom...obviously depending on the size and shape of the thing you want to stick...but say for CT's image and if they are normal small square ones I would use about 5-6 pads on that
    If you look anything like your passport photo....Your too ill to travel

  • CT your card is lovely :T

    Saveapenny -thanks for the info, I should have been more explicit. The decoupage is a paper nation one in the shape of a man bowling-

    so I think each arm and leg will need sticking, but I don't know how many to use for the main body ?

    The heart card does actually have a silver swirly pattern that i drew on half of the heart but it isn't showing up very well.
