My Guest Designer card for Crafty Friends Challenge Blog

I was asked by the lovely Diane of Crafty Friends Challenge Blog if I'd like to be a guest designer for them for this weeks challenge

Of course I was delighted to have been asked and accepted straight away 

Thank you so much for asking me, I feel really honoured to be joining you 

I made this card using a Bugaboo image called Kidz Fishing which I coloured with Copics

It's available in the Bugaboo Store Here
There is also a little boy version Here

To make the card I scored a piece of 6 x 9 inch card, scoring at 1,2. 3.5, 5 and 7 inches

The piece of acetate measured 6 x 10 inches, scored in half and just taped onto the front and back of the stepper part

I do love these cute little stepper cards
