Morning everyone

I wondered if this would be ok to enter in the challenge??



I used acetate at the front of the aperture, and put the fish behind, so it's meant to resemble a fish tank! lol

I've also started a blog too, which can be found here:

Hope it's ok.

Great card sally for your first challenge - its perfect, so well done:T:T. So clever to make it look like a fish tank. Does your card already have the square aperture or have you cut it yourself? My idea was to have some fish in a picture frame, but am struggling to cut the middle of the card out so it looks half decent.

All the cards on your blog look great.

Thank you so much CT19720 - it was already cut, I'm not as clever as to cut my own - LOL, does that count as cheating?? :eek:

Hi Sal, No - it just means that you won't be able to tell me the secret of getting it right :rotfl:.

I'll have another go over the weekend and see if I can crack it.
